Available to hire
Hi, I’m Oluwakemi Precious Faniyi, a Product Designer with over five years of experience focused on prototyping FDA-regulated systems where hardware meets software. I love blending biomedical engineering principles with user experience strategies to create intuitive, compliant, and scalable solutions that truly make a difference, such as driving significant reductions in user error.
Throughout my career, I have worked closely with cross-functional teams to simplify complex workflows and ensure regulatory compliance while maintaining a user-centered approach. I’m passionate about aligning stakeholders and iterating through design sprints to translate challenging technical problems into clear, efficient user experiences.

Work Experience
Product Quality Engineer at Benchmark Electronics
December 1, 2022 - May 31, 2024Led a UX overhaul of more than 15 manufacturing workflows using visual hierarchy principles, resulting in a 30% reduction in errors. Designed a risk-mitigation prototype that prevented $50K in deviations through iterative user testing with operators. Directed cross-functional teams including Engineering, QA, and Manufacturing in root cause analysis, achieving a 40% reduction in repeat errors within FDA-regulated production.
Product Design Engineering Intern at UNandUP, LLC
July 1, 2019 - May 31, 2020Spearheaded the full product cycle for a functional testing system including user research, CAD prototyping, and Arduino control logic implementation. Reduced calibration variability by 15% through three ergonomic iterations of the pump grip informed by force analysis. Developed FDA-adjacent documentation aligning technical specifications with user capabilities.
Learning Experience Designer at KIPP St. Louis High School
May 30, 2020 - June 1, 2022- Designed and implemented a curriculum system utilizing design sprint methodology, which increased student pass rates by 20%.
- Prototyped gamified learning UX interventions based on behavioral feedback loops that boosted participation rates to 90%.
