About Olumide Olusesi

Senior product designer at Carbon

I am a senior designer leading product design efforts with specializations in enterprise UX, e-commerce UX and design systems. I enjoy creating valued perceptions and desired responses in people through designing, solving problems & coaching. I am an advocate for collaboration, tenacity and growth.

I’m that guy who tries to ensure everything works well. I get goosebumps when in synergy with colleagues especially when solving problems. I’m passionate about raising others, leadership and serving others. In my spare time, you will find me learning a DIY, volunteering as a live stream director, sharing moments with close circles or working out.

I am self-taught and ardent. Over the years, I’ve grown from a visual designer, motion graphics designer and transitioned into a Product Designer.

Working as a team leader and an individual contributor prompts me to constantly stay relevant, always improving my output, presentation and leadership skills. Sometimes, this means delivering high-quality work at a faster pace while maintaining standard design processes as I work with cross-functional teams.
