hi, I’m aniea, a nigerian-american product designer based out of brooklyn,ny 🍎 I studied design at the Stanford d.school, where I grew & nurtured my love for a human-centered approach ✨
I've designed for Facebook, Bain & Co, & most recently, Spotify, where I explored experiences surrounding social, identity, & communal listening 🎶
a curious-cat through and through, I LOVE the process of discovery and exploration. I thrive in ambiguous future-probing problem spaces & am always excited to add a new skill to my toolkit [currently working on : graphic design & self-producing my debut EP].
I am passionate about work which empowers marginalized groups 🌍 & democratizes access to opportunities otherwise siloed by poor design 🎒
