About
I direct AI workflows.
I don't just use
AI tools.

I'm a Senior Product Designer specialising in UI/UX, interaction design, branding, and AI-native product workflows. My background in mechanical engineering from Abia State University gives me a systems-thinking lens that most designers don't bring to the table.

I design for clarity, precision, and longevity. Whether it's a gesture interaction system, a crypto platform, or a law firm's brand identity — I care about the decisions behind the pixels, not just the pixels themselves.

Based in Nigeria. Working US hours with remote teams at US-based companies. Available for full-time contract roles.

"Edward consistently delivers pixel-perfect, highly intuitive designs. His ability to fuse aesthetic minimalism with complex interaction systems is unmatched. Easily one of the most brilliant designers I've worked with. Period. He doesn't just design screens; he engineers experiences. Every interaction, every pixel, every transition is meticulously crafted with real users in mind. Working with him on the recent mobile app launch was a revelation. He took our complex, data-heavy dashboard and transformed it into a masterpiece of simplicity and focus. I particularly admired how he led the design system overhaul—it drastically accelerated our engineering velocity. We saw a 40% increase in user engagement within just two weeks of launching his redesign. Finding a designer who genuinely understands both business goals and deep technical constraints is rare, but Edward encompasses all of it effortlessly."

"An absolute powerhouse of creativity and precision. The visual identity he crafted for our platform elevated our market presence immediately. We couldn't be happier with the collaboration. From day one, Edward was proactive, collaborative, and incredibly insightful. He spearheaded our entire rebranding effort, taking abstract ideas and distilling them into a gorgeous, cohesive visual language. Not only did the aesthetic significantly improve, but the accessibility and usability metrics skyrocketed. He ran comprehensive user testing sessions and integrated feedback seamlessly without ever compromising the pristine dark-mode aesthetic we wanted. Our investors were blown away by the interactive prototypes he built. His meticulous attention to typography, spacing, and subtle micro-animations makes navigating our platform feel luxurious. Anyone looking for a world-class senior designer should look no further."

"I was thoroughly impressed by Edward's profound understanding of AI workflows and gesture-based user experience. He brings a level of systems thinking that redefines what a product designer should be. We brought him in to untangle a very convoluted user journey for our enterprise AI product, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. He introduced a novel gesture system that eliminated unnecessary cognitive load, making the complex tool feel intuitive and powerful. More than just his design skills, he is an exceptional communicator who effectively guided our engineering team through the nuances of the interaction states. His documentation is pristine, and his handoffs are second to none. His work fundamentally shifted how we approach product design internally, setting a new gold standard for the entire company."
