UX Designer

HNG Tech

As a UX Design Intern, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where I contributed across the full spectrum of the design process. I designed user-centered interfaces for both mobile and web applications, ensuring they were intuitive and visually appealing. My work included creating interactive prototypes and micro-interactions in Figma to enhance the user experience and drive engagement.

I collaborated closely with product managers and developers, bridging the gap between design and development to ensure that our vision was effectively implemented. My role involved conducting user research, translating insights into wireframes, and iterating on designs based on feedback and testing.

This hands-on experience not only strengthened my technical skills in UI/UX design, prototyping, and interaction design but also honed my ability to thrive in an agile and collaborative environment. I'm excited to bring this expertise to new challenges in the UX/UI design field.

Working on a website project for a friend.

Initially recorded to make it a YT video, ended up making a time-lapse.
The design is coming together nicely.

Would you like to see a YouTube tutorial/breakdown on it?

Design Engineer | Certified Webflow Developer | Penultimate Computer Science Student @University of Chester

My first hackathon was a W!

Brought home the MLH prize for the best use of Snowflake API.

Lots of lessons learnt, worked with an incredible team.
I'm working a full-fledged article, coming soon.

I also documented the entire experience as well (YT video when?)

Excited to have worked with Yui Fan, Hector Pearson & Vasilii Zubarev.

More updates on my coding journey to come.

Stay updated y'all -  Abdussalam Popoola

Always love watching a design come to life!

Here's the process of how i created the clone shot with Affinity.

Snippets from hackathon project the team and I built in 24 hours.

This flow shows how a student can redeem credits for vouchers that work with small businesses in Manchester.

The idea is to help students save money from purchases they already make, like rent, lifestyle and feeding.

Paying rent earns you credits → enough credits earn you vouchers → vouchers earn you discounts → discounts help you save money.

I still have the pitch deck we used to pitch the idea.
I bet it's got potential for Housr - wink ;)

Built this with Hector Pearson, Vasilii Zubarev, Yui Fan & Abdussalam Popoola (me)

Yesterday was a blast!

My 2nd hackathon ever; hosted by Accelerate ME.
We worked on the Lovable challenge to bring an idea to life in 6hrs.

The team and I built a peer-to-peer mentoring platform for students to skill up fast and get hired. Heard we got 4th place btw.

Overall it was a great experience working with Ibad Ali, Surya Ramakrishnan & Dithik on this.

Oliver Ulvebne mentioned we should apply for Accelerate ME Cohort 12.
I'll do that :)

Also huge shout out to the winners & the new friends i made; Elizabeth Fenwick. Fidel Ehirim, Yousuf RizwanOsama Alnajar, Peace Kiariki, Rachael Lam and many more...

I'm excited to see us all blossom beyond our wildest dreams.
Cheers!

I hope you find it valuable.

My first hackathon in London!

I was in c++ class at 9am when I found out there was a hackathon hosted by Encode Club.

I immediately applied and booked a train to London.

Being a designer that aims to be as technical as possible, there’s so much I don’t know about Web3 and smart contracts.

So, there’s a lot of soaking up to do this weekend.

Here’s to learning something 🥂

I need to make friends and get going.
Stay tuned for hackathon updates.

Hello Internet,

I'm building an invoice creation software.
Here's a quick demo on how it works: (feedbacks are appreciated)

HACKATHON UPDATE: I couldn't join a cool team. 

So i'm going solo.

What if failure could mean something different on our journey to mastery?

3 weeks ago, my 20k followers account DELETED.

I asked the support team, "what happened?"

I was racking millions of views every month. Ranking on top keywords globally.
Everything was going great.

Until...

On 5th Nov, my Instagram account was deleted.

Tbh, I gave zero shi.

I immediately asked myself what to do now?

I decided to go back on LinkedIn. Started posting again from the same day.

One of my clients asked about the account, and said you should definitely ask the support team.

I contacted the support team, shared the whole story, and I was told nothing can be done now. It's permanent.

I said "okay, sure"

And this is what they said (in the screenshot). Tbh, I was surprised by myself too that how positive I was.

I knew there's a bigger door that's about to open, and since I will never leave this one, this had to go.

So I calmly accepted it and went on to LinkedIn. (I was already doing LinkedIn for clients, but my account was pretty inconsistent)

I wouldn't say LinkedIn 10xed my business in 3 weeks blah blah blah. Cuz it didn't. But so far:

In 3 weeks, I got 2 new clients, and 2 more meetings booked.

So if you face something like that.

• A big hurdle.
• Your account is gone.
• Your business collapses overnight, or anything...

Just know, it's for your betterment. You might not realize it now, but a year from now, you will.

P.S. Anything like that ever happened to you?
