Senior Product Designer — 9+ Years
I design and build the things other designers use.
Systems thinking, code literacy, and the belief that the right component ships faster than the clever one.

Testimonials
I ran UX Buddy before my review — it caught three things I would’ve missed. The meeting went so much smoother.
UX Buddy has become an essential part of my workflow. The feedback is always thoughtful and professional.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Instant feedback without waiting for reviews. Game changer!
Opeyemi turns fuzzy, half-formed problems into flows that just make sense. The week we shipped his redesign, activation climbed and our support tickets fell off a cliff.
The calmest person in the room, and the sharpest. Every handoff was pixel-perfect, every decision backed by real research. Building from his designs was effortless.
Working with Opeyemi felt like gaining a senior product partner, not just a designer. He raised the bar for the whole team and never once lost sight of the user.
Design notes, side quests & things I learned the hard way.
Random thoughts on design craft, products I'm building, mistakes I've made, and whatever else won't fit in a case study.
Opeyemi Designing for a Canvas You Don't Control
I've spent months building a design system with 93 tokens. My next product ships in 14pt system font. And I think it's making me a better designer.

Opeyemi Built for Everyone, Priced for the West
