About
I’m Samuel Lasisi, a Product Designer with over 5 years of experience turning complex problems into intuitive, user-centered solutions. I’m currently pursuing an MBA (Part-time) in Innovation at York St. John University, where I’m blending strategic thinking and leadership with my passion for design to tackle challenges from a fresh, holistic perspective.
Currently, at the University of Nottingham, I lead the UX efforts for student recruitment, shaping digital experiences that connect with users and drive meaningful engagement. Previously, I worked at a wealth tech company, where I built a multi-brand design system - marrying structure and creativity to ensure scalability and consistency across their ecosystem.
A die-hard advocate for people, design, and education, I thrive on creating impact through thoughtful design and mentorship. I’ve had the privilege of training over 400 aspiring designers, helping them carve paths into the design field - because I truly believe that great design starts with empowered people. This earned me the 'blue badge' top voice global recognition from Linkedin.
Skills & Tools I Love Working With:
Everyday tools: Figma, Miro, Figjam, Dovetail, Maze, Hotjar, AEM,
Web Development: HTML5, CSS3, WordPress, Semplice, Framer
Visual/Motion Design: Adobe Creative cloud tools
