I design products people actually use.

I help teams move from ambiguity to a clear direction, aligning user needs, technical realities, and business goals into experiences that scale.

Over seven years across fintech, SaaS, healthcare, edtech, and enterprise products, I've contributed to products at Bank of America, HSBC, Carrefour, and Datum AI, designing onboarding and verification flows, transaction experiences, dashboards, and product systems.

These days, I experiment with AI to prototype, build tools, and ship real, working products.

Know More About Me

A good name…from colleagues and employers.

During my time working with Gift, I’ve been part of his growth as a UX designer. His ability to understand the problem to solve and the proper application of it as a UI pattern or flow is probably his best tool. I’ve also noticed skills when we brainstorm ideas, being able to defend his rationale behind a design decision to then agree (or disagree) and commit to the solution. This I see as a good soft skill. Good listener, calm, and focused designer. Gift would be a good addition to any design team.

Rolfi Sánchez

Design Director, CreateApe

His collaborative spirit and competence proved to be invaluable to our team. Working with Gift was a cool experience and I'll recommend him for any project that demands innovation, competent skills, and a commitment to design excellence.

Lanre Okedele

Product Designer, Acumen and Tendar

Gift consistently impressed the team with his creativity, attention to detail, and ability to transform complex requirements into intuitive, user-friendly designs.

Abdullahi Raheem

Project Manager, CreateApe

I had the pleasure of working with Gift, and his technical expertise and collaborative approach made a significant impact on our projects. He consistently delivered high-quality work, quickly solving complex problems with innovative solutions. Gift is skilled in product design and an excellent team player who communicates effectively and brings valuable insights to the table. His dedication and adaptability make him a great asset to any team, and I highly recommend him.
