Hi, I'm Akim John

I design products
and experiences.

Here's a little about me

Senior Product Designer with 6+ years shipping digital products in fintech, banking, and consumer apps across Nigeria, UAE, and Germany. I specialise in turning complex financial workflows into interfaces that are intuitive enough for first-time users and trusted enough for high-stakes transactions, from mutual fund portals to mobile banking onboarding flows.

My background in Software Engineering means I design with real technical constraints in mind, which makes me an unusually effective collaborator with engineering teams and a faster, more precise thinker about systems and edge cases.I care about craft, but I measure success by outcomes: adoption rates, retention, and whether real users can actually accomplish what they came to do.

My Tools

Webflow

In my spare time

I love cooking, going to the movies and eating out at restaurants. I’m also fond of writing what ever comes to my mind and I’ve written quite a handful on Medium.

Other than that, you'll find me playing badminton, taking pictures, and trying to get my hands on the latest tech.
