a first-generation Nigerian-American Creative Technologist.

I’ve called 6 cities home and explored 27 countries, with Los Angeles as my current base. By day, I’m a user experience researcher bridging the gap between product teams and their users, advocating for decisions that put people first. My career spans roles at LinkedIn, Meta, and Etsy, where I’ve worked on products that empower creators and entrepreneurs to thrive—whether by helping them build their brands, connect with audiences, or scale their businesses.

Outside of work, I lead the Fifty50 Initiative, which empowers women to chart their own paths in tech without a predefined blueprint. Our mission is to achieve a 50/50 gender balance in the industry.

My creative journey and online presence go beyond posting content—I’m committed to creating a roadmap for the underrepresented and being a voice for those figuring out their journey. Through my own experiences, I hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams with confidence and resilience.
