Episode notes

For today's episode, I have got the great privilege of speaking for the very first time to a designer from Nigeria. Joshua Oluwagbimiga is a user experience designer currently working at Intellia in Lagos, Nigeria. He graduated from Bowen University in Nigeria with a bachelor's in computer science. When he's not designing and typing on a keyboard, he's likely playing keyboard, the instrument, not entirely terribly terribly good. We both cracking up, defenders, because I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out how to pronounce his name.

Joshua Oluwagbemiga motivates us to allow different inputs to influence our visual outputs. He shows us the effective power of determination when pursuing the craft of design. He also reminds us that inspiration is all around us...if we’re looking for it.
