ABOUT · OLOLADE ODUYOMI (LOLA)VANCOUVER, CANADA · 49.2488° N, 122.9805° W

I design at the intersection of AI, product thinking, and design engineering for real-world intelligent workflows.

My approach blends UX design, research, AI system thinking, and design engineering to create products that are intuitive, context-aware, and aligned with business goals.

Working across agency and product teams has given me 4+ years of experience across AI security, PropTech and real estate SaaS, healthcare, logistics, food platforms, and B2B SaaS—teaching me how to ship high-trust experiences in fast-moving environments.

Before moving into product design, I earned an MSc in Pharmacology from the University of Ibadan (assessed by WES as a Canadian Master’s equivalent). That scientific training shapes how I work today: I deconstruct dense protocols, interrogate edge cases before drawing frames, and design interfaces where humans stay in control of automated systems.

I collaborate closely with founders, product managers, and engineers to turn ambiguous, high-stakes workflows into clear, scalable, and production-ready software.

02 · AI-AUGMENTED DESIGN WORKFLOW

AI-Augmented Design Workflow

I use AI to compress the distance between a rough clinical or technical constraint and a testable interface—never to skip research or ship unverified assumptions.

STAGE 01 · PROTOCOL DECONSTRUCTION & EDGE-CASE MAPPINGClaude (Custom Skills) · Gemini · ChatGPT

Parsing dense FDA/ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria, security telemetry, and multi-carrier pricing rules into structured conditional logic matrices before wireframing.

STAGE 02 · SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE & TOKEN SYNCFigma MCP · Custom Figma Variable Plugins

Connecting Figma component libraries and semantic token variables directly to code context so layout rules, spacing, and states translate cleanly into production.

STAGE 03 · RAPID INTERACTIVE PROTOTYPING & VALIDATIONGoogle Stitch · Google Flow · Lovable · Codex

Building functional, latency-aware prototypes to test human-in-the-loop verification drawers, live scan states, and multi-step booking flows with stakeholders before engineering lock.
