SODIQ OLAWALE BELLO
ROLE: UX/UI Designer
After obtaining my certification in UX/UI Research and Design from the Georgia Institute of Technology, I have continued to pursue my passion for understanding consumer motivation and driving user engagement.
Utilizing design tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, Miro, Trello, and other software, I have developed and prototyped applications that offer people meaningful experiences through design. I am competent in Front End development using tools like HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, SQL, and other FEDev tools.
My approach to design is rooted in a human-centered perspective, where I prioritize the user experience and develop empathy for the user. I incorporate various design elements such as micro-interactions, animation, user research, brainstorming, interface design, prototyping, and user testing.
