About

I’m Akibu Oluwatosin, a user-centered UX/UI designer based in Lagos, Nigeria. I design responsive web and mobile experiences for real-world products like news discovery, home-service booking, and voting/registration flows, using research-driven thinking and clear information architecture to reduce friction and improve usability.

I work end-to-end in Figma—creating user flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes, then running usability and hierarchy reviews to translate findings into practical interface improvements. I also collaborate closely with developers and stakeholders through well-documented design decisions and component-consistent iteration, so what we design is what ships.
