👋🏽 Hey there, Shams here.

I'm a Product Designer based in Lagos, Nigeria with a global 🌎 outlook.

I started my design journey in 2018 after switching from a career in construction. Since then, I have had Product Design training at Kimoyo Fellowship and Interaction Design Foundation where I acquired skills in User Research, Design psychology and Collaboration. I have also had the opportunity to work with some really cool people at notjustok.com, Kraks Media and Kimoyo Insights.

I currently play the role of UX Product Designer at TeamApt.

Here's a bit more about me

Other Interests

When I am not working, you'd find me indoors reading manga, watching a movie or scrolling through Pinterest. I also enjoy travelling, kayaking and playing video games.

Gaming

Sport . Adventure . Arcade

To cool off after work, I spend some of my time either watching movies or playing FIFA or any other adventure games.

Travelling

Hiking . Camping . Tourism

To me, travelling is an enriching experience. It's given me social and cultural perspective that has helped me appreciate life more.

Kayaking

Canoe Sprints. Touring

I have kayaked only once ever, but my experience was so amazing, I had to include it here. It's definitely one thing I'd love to try more often.
