PRODUCT DESIGNER × DESIGN ENGINEER

I shape digital products with deep design empathy, then build them with high-precision code.

Hello! I’m Ayomide Lawal. I sit at the intersection of Product Design (user research, systems, wireframes) and Design Engineering (TypeScript, Next.js, motion architecture). I don't just hand over static mockups—I author living, testable software.
