About

Hi, I’m James Ojeniyi, a UX/UI designer and frontend developer with a passion for turning complex ideas into intuitive, accessible web experiences. I’ve spent 10+ years collaborating with product, engineering, and cloud teams to ship responsive interfaces, scalable design systems, and performant features using Figma, React, Next.js, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and WordPress.

I thrive on data-informed design, AB testing, and CI/CD discipline to improve Core Web Vitals and conversions. From headless WordPress with ISR to serverless components, I translate business goals into elegant, maintainable interfaces that boost engagement and reduce time-to-market while mentoring teammates and advocating accessibility.
