Thelma Dike

Senior Product Designer — Lagos, Nigeria

Background

I'm a CS graduate turned product designer with 8 years of experience shipping high-stakes tools across three continents. I specialise in environments where complexity is unavoidable and precision is non-negotiable — AI infrastructure, fintech, and developer tooling.

My career has spanned the full spectrum: from designing the API dashboard that unlocked $9B+ in transactions at Chipper Cash, to making private 5G AI deployment accessible to creative partners without DevOps backgrounds at Verizon, to cutting battery test setup time in half for engineers at Apple.

I care deeply about how products feel in the hands of expert users — the people who live in these tools all day. A wrong click shouldn't have consequences. I'm currently based in Lagos and actively targeting senior roles in the UK/Europe deep-tech and AI space.
