About Emmanuel Fadare

Senior Product Designer at Toptal

Hi, I’m Emmanuel — a Senior Product Designer and Founder of Remllo, an AI compliance platform helping African businesses stay on top of regulations without the overwhelm.

With over 7 years of experience, I’ve designed and built products across fintech, edtech, regtech, marketplaces, and AI-powered tools. I’ve worked with teams on every continent — from early-stage startups to growth-stage companies — helping turn complex ideas into simple, intuitive, human-centered products.

Beyond design, I consult through Toptal, collaborate with global clients, and mentor designers looking to grow their careers. I’ve also led design sprints, worked closely with cross-functional teams, and helped align design with business goals.

I can help you with: • Portfolio and case study reviews • UX strategy and product thinking • Transitioning into senior or leadership roles • Navigating cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder communication

Let’s connect — I’d love to support your journey as a designer and share what I’ve learned from both building and leading.
