I started my career as a product designer because I'm a firm believer that great design has the power to simplify life and make the world a little better for everyone. Whether it's in fintech, health tech, performance management, education, open banking, or e-commerce, I've had the chance to work with businesses of all sizes — from startups to industry leaders.
I helped improve OpenBlend's 1:1 and agenda experience, designed Betascore's app to help credit invisibles and migrants access credit, led the design for Nguvu Health's mental wellness app, brought Gladys Financial's fintech app to life from just an idea, and led the research that protected £200m in revenue for Tesco Mobile's eSIM launch. It's been a blast.
I'm passionate about solving human problems through design. When I'm not creating products, you'll find me sharing ideas and contributing to the design and product community — because collaboration and conversation are where the best ideas spark.
I'm always excited about the future and what it holds, but I can't forget my adventurous past — it's shaped me into the designer I am today.
Tolu is an outstanding designer who oozes experience and creativity. His UI skills transformed the look of OpenBlend into something that is quite frankly beautiful, and he showed no difficulties in the face of complexity, which our web app (serving five personas simultaneously) regularly required.

Tolulope is a great product designer. His designs are simple and visually appealing and he pays attention to detail. He maintains the utmost professionalism by being punctual, meeting deadlines and communicating proactively. I highly recommend working with him!
Had the opportunity to work with Tolu on revamping our SmartUp education app. He worked diligently to simplify the visual hierarchical flow and to produce an aesthetically appealing app. A very complex endeavour, yet Tolu took on the challenge and did amazing work.
