A little about me

I like figuring things out.

I’m interested in the questions behind the interface: what people need, what a team should make, and how to bring it into the world.

Portrait of Olamide Akoja
Olamide Akoja

I’m Olamide Akoja, a product designer and UX researcher. I connect research, interface design, and building in Framer to turn complex problems into clear, useful experiences. I conducted the UX research for RedApp through Heirs Technologies, and I co-run Parallel Lab, where I work across design, business development, and delivery. I like being close to the whole process: listening to people, making sense of the evidence, exploring possibilities, and bringing an idea to life.

Research taught me to ask better questions. Design taught me to make choices visible. Building taught me that the details matter. Now I’m bringing those perspectives into product management: learning how to connect user needs, business goals, and the decisions that help a team move forward. Along the way, I’m exploring AI tools and automation through small, practical projects.

I like being part of the full process—from listening and sense-making to defining the experience and helping a team deliver it. My research practice keeps decisions connected to people; my design practice turns those decisions into clear interactions.

  • UX research
  • Product design
  • Interaction design
  • Product strategy
  • Website delivery
  • AI-assisted prototyping

Away from work, I read, write, and notice the everyday stories around me—usually with music playing. Curiosity follows me beyond the screen.

I’m open to product design and product management opportunities where research, thoughtful collaboration, and useful outcomes matter.
