Quirky facts about Debb
As a Product designer/UX Researcher, I don’t just sketch wireframes, I live in them. My notebook is a mix of design ideas and quick notes from research sessions because inspiration can come at any time. I have learned to catch it on paper before it disappears.

Quirky facts about Susan
I have a love for adventure and exploring, I guess it’s the researcher in me? I express this interest in going to new places within and outside the city I live in, exploring new areas, new cuisines, and more! I take this love of adventure a step further by venturing out to learn and cook new and ridiculously challenging recipes that are non-Nigerian and non-African. The risk they say is worth the reward, and most times the reward is a new and tasty meal that’s just as exciting as its preparation!

Quirky facts about Mujeedah
When I’m deep into designing, I love listening to the Qur’an. The peaceful recitation helps me stay calm and focused, especially when working on intricate design details. It creates the perfect atmosphere for creativity and precision to flow.

Quirky facts about Aderonke
As a Project Manager, I am a bit of a productivity perfectionist—I can’t relax until I have tackled most of my tasks! But when my brain gets foggy and I am facing a roadblock, nothing helps like a quick nap or indulging my sweet tooth with a tasty treat to get those creative gears turning again.

Quirky facts about Melvina
Music is my unique way of staying in the groove-literally! Listening to gospel music while designing is my secret sauce. You’ll often catch me vibing to a rhythm, tapping my palm or foot to the beat mid-design session. With a dedicated playlist to set the tone, those beats aren’t just background noise – they have a way of fueling my creativity.
