Glad to see you! I'm Anulika Nwankwo. I'm a Product Designer and an experienced IT product manager. I have to admit that becoming this passionate "IT product" person was one of the best decisions I made and now I can't seem to get enough of educating myself on innovative ways of bringing products to market from the user research part to the development.

I'm deeply fascinated with all aspects of user experience design, user research, user journey mapping and visual design. I advocate for the user, helping to ensure that the product meets their needs and is easy to use. I carry out usability testing, and other activities to gather insights that can inform design decisions and I play a critical leadership role in the development of new products, helping to ensure that the product is user-centric, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.
