I'm Oluwatosin, a Product Designer and UX Researcher based in Tampere, Finland, with about five years across in-house, consultancy, and freelance work. Right now I'm at Data Science Nigeria, leading the redesign of AI data-collection tools built for underrepresented-language datasets. Before that, at Demola Global, stakeholder interviews I ran shaped a recruitment-workflow redesign for a Finland-wide public sector challenge. What sets me apart is I don't start with screens, I start with the people who'll actually use the thing, run the research and accessibility audits myself, and hand engineers specs they can build from without a follow-up meeting to explain what I meant.
