A couple of months ago, I remember endlessly searching for work experience. Now I have not one but two to add to my name, and this is just the beginning. God did ✨
Grateful for another year ✨
I really have a lot of things to be grateful for, last year I had a lot on my plate, just finished school dead broke, laptop got stolen, no job etc..
End of the same year and it all came rolling in
- First gig
- First Job
- First international role
God is ever merciful, someone just contributed immensely towards me getting a new laptop and I’m so grateful, I don’t even know how to feel. I’m still trying to gather enough to balance up and get back to designing. Thanks to everyone for their kind words and support as well ❤️
So I tried explaining to someone in church today what I do.
Me: I’m a designer
Him: So graphic desi-
Me: No product design, I design application and websites
Him: Oh so you’re a web developer
Me: No I design what web developers code.
Explaining what I do to people outside
As my mum would say, your name “Toluwabori” means despite all,God’s will will be done, it can only have been God. Super grateful to everyone that contributed, retweeted, liked and said kind words of prayer or support. New laptop meee

One thing I’m grateful for is my growth, I might not be posting as much. But that’s because I’m doing the work for now, when I have more free time I’d jump back on designing regularly. I’m taking this time to also improve and work on my designs in general from the ground up. 🫶🏾
Just hit 1k views on Behance, for someone that just got active again with design a couple of months back, I know I’m doing something right. I’ve learnt from almost every designer I know on X personally and that goes to show how amazing they are. Thank you very much everyone ❤️

Alright I'm just going to post it.
Every decision from the visual elements to the imagery was backed up by solid research, all done within 48 hours of receiving the task, I plan on putting out as a case study so anyone can learn a thing or two from my process.
Before → After
The long-awaited case study drop! In my design journey (not 10+ years yet), I have always aimed to blend aesthetics with functionality, basically crafting converting landing pages. This year, I cracked the code! Presenting to all the eMedic landing page redesign.
The board was impressed with my designs and the fact that I was carrying the team along every step of the way, made a couple of suggestions though. But from start to finish I was able to explain my process and give an accurate progress report. PS: Documentation is key. 🤌🏾
Alright! Let’s dive deep into my comprehensive UI/UX documentation process. Big ups to designers like

Spent a whole week on Notion documenting my research, taking notes during meetings, carrying out swot analysis and competitor analysis, basically providing solid background for my design decisions and process. It’s been fun doing UX, next up, sketching and some UI✨

My current tool stack ✨
☑️ Design- Figma
☑️ 3D- Spline
☑️ Building- Framer
☑️ Animation-Jitter.
Still improving and learning everyday, but I started really using these tools (besides figma) this year and I’ve been able to accomplish so much. Excited to see what I do next🔥
In the past 4 months I've been wholly focused on improving my skills as a designer across board. This has led me to take on really exciting challenges some of which include;
☑ Building my portfolio on Framer
☑ Creating my first 3D model on Spline
☑ Redesigning websites for

design yesterday just made me jump at it this morning.
Time really flies, this was during my service year in ilorin, and now I’m done with nysc and added even more projects to my name. It’s a beautiful feeling to see you’re moving up in your career, especially if you started from a course not related to design like me. Writing my own

Showing up and being consistent isn’t posting designs daily, or reading ux books and listening to ux podcasts everyday. It’s just making sure you can tie something meaningful you did to each day.
PS: something meaningful can be rest.
Doing a little bit of a re-introduction today.
My name is Toluwabori, a product designer who's in love with 3D, No-code, Motion and Visual designs. Outside design, you can catch me watching anime, gaming, music-ing (I know it's not a word...yet) and reading books. That's me, how

Look no further, currently available for full time roles and projects. Feel free to send me a dm!
Something I want to be more intentional about moving forward is my design telling a story, from the motion, colors, visual elements, everything, I want the users to follow like they’re in a storybook of sorts. So help me God, amen 🙏🏾✨
Today, I’ll be sharing handpicked mock-up links from my Instagram saves. Mock-ups serve as a critical intermediary step in the UI/UX design process. They offer clients and stakeholders a tangible glimpse into the design vision before full development. Links 👇🏾

- Understood how to measure skillsets to know exactly when you’re ready for leadership roles
- Learnt something from one of the speakers about being a maker and a manager
- Met a lot of amazing product leads and senior product
Typography really defines a lot of stuff when you design, that’s why whenever I see videos like this I save and search immediately, thought I’d share here as well.✨
Apple reached out to me today, they said they had seen my work and they loved it, but they needed to be sure of my skills so I was asked to recreate the Apple Vision Pro Website, did I mention it's April 1st today? Anyways Day 06 of Framer No code dev.
Hi everyone, you’d probably notice I haven’t posted any designs recently, that’s because I’m currently working on a couple of things, and I like to give my best when it comes to client work. However I also want to share all I’ve learnt, so I’ve decided to split the 30 days of
