Ola Ategun

Product Designer

I’m Ola, a Product Designer based in Canada with over 4+ years of experience. I enjoy turning ideas into simple, user-friendly digital products that people actually enjoy using.

I didn’t start in design. I began my career in digital marketing, but along the way I took on side tasks in design and maybe collaborated a little too much with devs and designers and just got sucked into it. I enjoy finding the balance between creativity and function, building products that look good and actually make sense. When I’m not designing, I’m usually watching or playing sports and just enjoying the moment.

Outside Design

I’m a big soccer fan and I play as often as I can. Lately I’ve also gotten into the NFL and I support the Eagles. Go birds! I also love sport bikes and just enjoy riding. It helps clear my head and gives me a different kind of focus.

Music has always been part of me. Afrobeats and Amapiano are my everyday soundtracks, but I also listen to hip-hop and R&B. Whether I’m working, relaxing, or out and about, there’s almost always something playing in the background.
