About Ekemini
FYI - I'm 10x cooler than all these
Holla! I am a Designer & Athlete. In every sense of the word.
MIDDLE LINEBACKER 🏈
TRACK
315LBS DL
SEMI-PRO TENNIS
I am a Plant Dad*, Hybrid Athlete (Flag & CrossFit), Sous Chef, Creative Director, and Style Connoiseur living in Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬. I began my career as an illustrator, did a little of frontend engineering, and over time switched to UX design with a keen eye for details, and aesthetics. I have focused on crafting great digital experiences in the finance space for the past few years, and I am now designing AI-powered experiences, across different verticals.
Ekemini's Core
I am best fit for roles that lets me obsessively dabble between core product craft & UX thinking, design systems and crazy good looking UI. Always happy to own a pod within a large org or be a founding designer at a small startup. Let's talk.
My Plants / Babies
Amiyeoluwa (Monstera), Ofiare (Yucca), Ene - (Golden Pothos), Usman - (Golden Pothos), Kayee - (Braided Money Tree) & Bruno - (Braided Money Tree)
