Summary
I'm a senior product designer and design engineer. I design in Figma and build in production code, so I can take a product from a customer problem to a shipped release. I have five years in product design, the last three and a half at MTN Nigeria in telecoms and payments.
At MTN I lead design on myMTN, MTN's self-service app, which passed a million users and carries ₦6–7B in revenue a month. There I cut airtime and data purchase drop-off by 20%. I also led design of the MoMo app for MTN's bank, where onboarding drop-off fell 30% and transaction success rose 20%, and redesigned MoMo Corporate on my own. I own components in Raanaa, MTN's design system, which lives in code and has cut design-to-production time by about 40%. Outside MTN I've built four products end to end with Next.js, Supabase and AI coding agents, two of them in real use.
