ABOUT
I’m Chiny Okonkwo, a UI/UX Designer with a passion for crafting intuitive, accessible, and meaningful digital experiences. My academic background in Humanities, Computing, and Design, combined with a foundation in sociology, has equipped me with a unique perspective that fuels my empathy-driven approach to design. I believe that understanding people—both as individuals and as communities—is key to designing solutions that simplify life’s interactions and have a lasting impact.
My journey has taught me that great design is about more than just aesthetics. It’s about creating experiences that resonate with users on a deep, emotional level. This is what drives me to make every interaction seamless and purposeful, whether I’m simplifying navigation flows or refining a visual language to better serve diverse needs.
In my free time, you can find me exploring new restaurants, spending time with my partner, cheering at hockey games, or pushing my limits in cycling and reformer pilates sessions. You'll also quickly notice that orange is my favorite color, orange tabby cats are my favorite animals, iced matcha lattes with oat milk are my go-to drink order, and creamy sun-dried tomato chicken couscous is my favorite dish to meal prep.
Whether working independently or as part of a team, I thrive on bringing creative solutions to life that empower users and elevate their everyday digital experiences. My superpower is the ability to transform complex problems into clear, user-centered designs that deliver real value to both users and stakeholders. I am always excited to take on new challenges and collaborate with teams to make the world’s digital experiences just a little bit better for everyone.
I’m currently seeking a full-time role where I can bring my blend of creativity, empathy, and problem-solving to a dynamic team. Let’s connect, grab a coffee (or matcha!), and chat about how we can build something amazing together!
