About my journey
Hi,
You made it here! I’m Kehinde, a UX Writer, Content/Product designer, and Poet who got transformed by words. Now, I’m doing the same to the world. I use language to design intuitive experiences, conversations, interfaces, and useful products.
The day I decided that the English language and grammar is my path, that day I knew, even better, that with words all dreams come true.
I started out scribbling poems on my dad’s old notes, stocking crumbs in cupboards and corridors. With years of experience and a background in Literature, writing, publishing, design, copywriting, Nonprofit and education, I haven’t looked back. The world of UX is for me air.
I love to write interface copy, design conversations, map out storyboards, and do things with words. For users to get to where they want to be, words help guide them and put them on not just a happy path but to have a meaningful conversation with products and services.
I earned a degree in English and went on to receive a Master’s in English Literature, and a Master’s of Fine Arts (MFA) Degree in Creative Writing. I have a strong sense of communication, and a passion for language, love for humans, tech and design.
With words all things are possible. Let’s go into the future!
