Bio (Longer Version)

Born and raised in Nigeria, I moved to Canada at 16 to study at the University of Manitoba, earning a BSc in Biotechnology (Joint Major in Microbiology & Analytical Chemistry). My passion for research led me to specialize in Molecular Biotechnology, where I explored Chemical and Microbial systems, conducted laboratory research as well as testing, and analyzed data to understand complex Biological processes.


I began my career in Quality Control, Food Microbiology, and Analytical Chemistry, applying research-driven problem-solving in laboratory settings before transitioning into Supply-chain Biotechnology in 2021 (Vancouver, BC). This shift exposed me to customer experience challenges, workflow inefficiencies, and system usability gaps, sparking my interest in UX/UI design and the role of technology in optimizing processes.


With a background in Customer Support and Logistics, I naturally empathize with users, identify pain points, and streamline experiences—skills that seamlessly translate into human-centered design. Beyond UX, I’m passionate about Fitness, Health, and continuous learning, applying the same structured and iterative approach to both personal and professional growth.

Design Process

My design process is intuitive, shaped by years in customer support, supply chain, and scientific research. I approach design with a natural sense of empathy and a focus on understanding the full user journey—not just how they interact with a product, but everything that drives their decisions. I start by immersing myself in the user’s perspective, mapping out what they think, feel, say, and do while engaging with a product. Through research, I uncover factual insights into the positive and negative aspects of their experience.


From there, I define the problem, ensuring that I’m addressing the real challenge, not just surface-level frustrations. I then move into ideation and design, creating solutions that prioritize usability and accessibility. Once a design is in place, I gather feedback, test, and iterate until the solution is user-focused—not Runor-focused. My approach ensures that every design decision is backed by research, empathy, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
