Hi, I’m aniea, a Nigerian-American product designer based out of San Francisco, CA 🌁 I studied design at the Stanford d.school, where I grew & nurtured my love for a human-centered approach ✨

I've designed for Spotify, Facebook, Bain & Co, & most recently, Google, where I am working on Google Lens Translate, creating intuitive visual interactions that help millions bridge language barriers instantly ⚡️

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 album].

I am passionate about work which empowers marginalized groups 🌍 & democratizes access to opportunities otherwise siloed by poor design 🎒
