"A long-overdue update! So, late last year, I hit a huge milestone as I finally wrapped up at the Faculty of Law, University of Ibadan with a Second-Class Upper Division.
"But right after graduation, I decided to finally pursue a passion I’ve had for a long time. I’ve always been obsessed with designing, especially Product Design, but since you can’t exactly "major" in UI/UX in a Nigerian uni, I had to carve my own path.
"In five months of rigorous learning and practice through YouTube videos, paid courses and eventually Sheda House, I have gotten to work on quite a number of projects across SaaS, Sports, Lifestyle and BPO with amazing companies including The Ball Business Bottomline Assist Sagemanagement.
"I’ve also been lucky enough to learn from and collaborate with some of the best minds in the industry, like Ifeoluwa Oladeni, Babayanju Benjamin, Timothy Olomola and Timothy Ayodele. While all that’s been happening, I resumed at the Nigerian Law School (Lagos Campus) six weeks ago!
"It’s been a unique experience, to say the least. Everyday is literally a cycle of unlearning and relearning everything I thought I knew. But I am grateful for it. So, from here on, it is Law by day, design by night (and sometimes both at once). It’s a lot, but I’m loving the journey."
