About · Adedeji Fakeye

A little more
about me.

I design clear, usable experiences for complex systems, helping people navigate detailed information and complete different workflows.

I’m a Product Designer (UI/UX) based in Lagos, with 4+ years of experience designing web and mobile products across enterprise SaaS, telecoms, GIS, real estate, e-commerce and marketplaces.

My work spans research, interaction design and visual design, from early ideas through to developer handoff. I bring user needs and business goals into the design decisions, creating clear, visually engaging experiences that help people get things done and businesses deliver their services.

My story

How I
got here.

I started in graphic design while studying Computer Science at the University of Lagos. That combination shaped how I approach design: paying attention to how an interface communicates and how the system behind it works.

Since moving into product design in 2021, I’ve worked on products with different users, detailed information and connected workflows. I enjoy understanding how people work, making the difficult parts easier to follow, and refining the design through feedback.

More recently, I’ve been exploring design engineering and bringing AI into my workflow. I built this portfolio website using Claude Code, GitHub and Vercel, putting that exploration into practice by taking a project from design through development and deployment.
