Jemima Assim-Ita — Product Designer
You can call me Jemima, but my friends call me Dara.
I’m a product designer in Lagos. I currently work at Paystack (opens in a new tab), where I lead the product design team. Previously at Toptal (opens in a new tab), Wiicreate (opens in a new tab) and Anakle (opens in a new tab)
I grew up knowing that wahala no dey finish: problems never end. Most days, I just try to make one of them smaller. I hold the CPACC credential (opens in a new tab), mostly because I wanted to know where accessibility came from: the origins, the legislation and the people who fought for it and I wanted the pressure of an exam I might not pass.
If you’re building something odd, fun, or useful, I’d love to hear about it. Bonus points if it keeps me up at night.
Outside work, I take photos of people and places I want to remember, watch an ungodly amount of cooking shows, and cook for my family.
