01 / About

Design is how I
solve problems,
code is how I
prove they work.

I'm a product designer and tech entrepreneur currently in Bonny Island Rivers State, Nigeria, with 3+ years across UI/UX, full-stack development and graphic design. I founded Ace Engines Technologies to build digital products that don't just look good, they earn trust and get used.

I think in systems: research the real problem, map the flows, design the interface, then build it in React so nothing gets lost in translation. I've led cross-functional teams, facilitated design courses, and shipped products end-to-end, from a blank Figma Canvas to a working front end ready for development.

Problem first
I don't start in Figma. I start with the person who has the problem, and the reason behind why the current thing fails them.
Systems, not screens
Reusable components, clear IA and documented decisions, so products stay coherent as they grow.
Build to ship
I code my own designs in React & Supabase, so what I draw is what actually ships, pixel-perfect.
Trust as a feature
Verification, payment protection, transparency, I design trust in on purpose, not as an afterthought.
02 / Selected work

Products I've
designed & built

A marketplace, a real-estate platform, and more in the pipeline. Each shipped with research, a design system and working code end to end.

Flagship case study 2025 to present

JobSpotta

Trust-first marketplace for local work, live in Bonny Island and Port Harcourt

Households hire verified electricians, plumbers and cleaners nearby. The price is agreed in chat, payment is secured at hire and only charged when the client confirms, then Paystack splits it straight to the worker. I designed and built all of it, from the first interviews to the payment rails.
