Hi, I’m Emmanuel Kemdirim Akujuobi.
I am a versatile designer with a flair for telling stories, I've honed my craft across diverse mediums, including UI design, brand design, 3D product design, motion design, and more recently, icon design. Thanks to products like Lace, Brass, Prospa, Bloc & Kudizy, I've had the privilege of touching the lives of over 10 million people around the world, leaving a lasting mark on their daily experiences.
My passion lies in building SAAS consumer products that engage and delight users for years on end. To that end, I've assembled and led design teams, crafting intuitive UI that seamlessly integrates form and function.
Whether it's rallying a team to bring a concept to life or pitching a game-changing product to potential partners, I have the expertise and drive to excel in any challenge.
