About Lola Salehu
Senior Product Designer at Paystack (Stripe Subsidiary)
Hi there, my name is Lola. I'm a Product Designer, Writer, and Public Speaker passionate about entrepreneurial thinking, being an infinite player, behavioural science, and bridging the gap between business and design.
I'm currently a Product & Design Lead at Paystack (Stripe subsidiary) where I work with the teams to help build the best payment experiences for high-growth businesses transacting across Africa and the rest of the world.
I specialize in making an impact through Innovation, Design Strategy, and Product-Design Ops. I've been an educator for the past three years, having taught at DesignfundforWomen, Àșà Coterie and currently teaching at Klas.
I also recently co-founded and led product at Kingdom, and I actively sustain and contribute to growing tech communities like Open Source Community Africa, Design Fund for Women and Àșà Coterie.
Before Product & Experience Design, I dabbled in Software engineering for two years, then afterwards Consulting, and Content Strategy until I eventually got here.
And now, over the last six years, I've essentially leveraged these to build intuitive products, services and experiences used by millions of people; while having a lot of fun in the process.
I love adventure, learning new perspectives from different people, and enriching my mind with different views & experiences. So when I’m not creating some on my laptop, I'm also a photographer; slightly obsessed with documenting experiences and can usually be found outdoors exploring something new.
