Hello, I'm Segun Oroyo, but you can call me "Segun." 😜
/sheh•goon/
I am a product designer based in London. I value curiosity, creativity, user-centered design, and making technology intuitive and accessible. I enjoy transforming complex problems into simple, beautiful solutions.
Previously, I was a graphic and frontend designer, diving deep into HTML, CSS, SCSS/SASS, Angular JS, and Vue. I attended the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), where I studied Environmental Design and funded my studies through graphic design and WordPress development.
With a background in graphic design and frontend development, I am well-equipped to connect design and development teams. I leverage my diverse skills to make well-informed decisions efficiently. To learn more about working with me, feel free to reach out on LinkedIn.
When I'm not tackling design challenges, you can find me in London either hunting for a basketball court, playing basketball, swimming, drawing, cooking, or exploring new technology.
I aim to be an exemplary designer and mentor. My aspiration is to become a compassionate, open-minded, and accessible design leader in the future. For now, I am wholeheartedly enjoying creating and implementing innovative solutions.

Key things I've learnt
Here are a few key takeaways I’ve learned over my years as a designer. They’ve come in handy for me, hopefully they’ll come in handy for you too.
Balancing Design Freedom
Let standards guide, not dictate, our design processes. What works in one situation may not apply universally.
Unvailing The Harmony
Design is similar to mathematics; understanding the problem simplifies proposing a solution.
Precision and Purpose
I focus on design details, understanding the core problem, and identifying success metrics.
Successful Product Development
Balancing business goals, user needs, and available technology is key to creating a successful product.
