I started in technical operations, moved into design and product, and kept following questions that crossed the boundaries between disciplines.
Today I work as a principal creative technologist, bringing strategy, design, technology and research together to make complex things clearer and more useful.

My independent practice has grown alongside the rest of my career. I lead work across strategy, digital products, brand, research and creative technology, moving from the first question through to something people can use.

Visit SusinsightI worked with teams building marketplaces, financial products, procurement platforms, talent networks and other digital businesses. Those projects taught me to look beyond the interface to the decisions, information and systems underneath it.
Selected workMy first role was in technical operations and management information at an insurance company in Lagos. I later moved into digital agency work, building websites, campaigns and brand experiences. Working close to users and real constraints changed the way I design.

Covenant University
Later study in user experience design and innovation management added to that foundation. Learning through projects, collaborators and experiments has mattered just as much.
I have taught, spoken, led workshops and mentored designers and digital professionals. These conversations keep me close to how other people learn and make decisions as the tools around us change.
