ABOUT

Hello 👋🏽. I'm Dèjì, a product designer based in Lagos, Nigeria. Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the web. I hope you like it here. 😎

Over the past eight years, I've helped shape digital products that drive business growth and deliver real-world impact. I’m especially drawn to tackling complex challenges in healthcare, education, and financial technology.

I spend most days building digital experiences people love, and when I step away from the screen, I focus on something I'm just as passionate about as design: health and wellness. I'm currently studying public health at Miva Open University and running naijafitfam.com.

I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to work with some amazing humans — from Lagos to DC and everywhere in between — on a variety of important problems across multiple domains, including edtech, fintech, advertising, social networking, and ecommerce.

No matter the problem being solved, my design philosophy remains rooted in the belief that good design is “invisible.” When a product is well-designed, it is easy to use and enjoyable to interact with. It fades into the background, allowing the user to focus on the task at hand.

Kind words from former colleagues...

01

Dèjì is an absolute wizard and a phenomenal creative partner that I’ve had the pleasure to work with on several initiatives over the last five years. His ability to listen carefully to a client‘s business needs while also incorporating their whimsical wants is a skill that needs to be studied. I cannot express enough what a pleasure it is to work with Deji on any project and just how passionate he is about shipping excellence.

I had the pleasure of working with Dèjì at MINWO, where he was the lead designer for the Rialto app. From day one, he brought thoughtful creativity and a strong eye for detail to every part of the project. What stood out most was his collaboration skills, especially with our product development team. His ability to balance vision with execution made him a key part of our team, and any team would be lucky to have him.

Working with Dèjì on the Toby&Tye team on our evolution from DC Startup Week to DC Startup & Tech Week was a masterclass in strategic creativity and collaboration. From the refreshed logo system to the full suite of conference assets—social promos, agendas, signage, website, and marketing collateral—every touchpoint was on-brand and nicely designed.
