[PROJECT VISUAL]
HI, I'M DAVID FAYEMI

I'm a senior product designer who builds financial products for people the system was never built for. I care about making them feel clear, trustworthy, and accessible to communities mainstream finance overlooks.

Fintech is where I've spent most of my career: remittance, credit, lending, and banking for markets where trust and clarity matter most.

At LemFi I joined as a Senior Product Designer in 2023, starting on remittance before moving to Credit. I now lead design for the credit suite and our next-gen design system, including extending our tooling into AI workflows so teams ship on-brand work faster.

I also host The BluePrint Series, published Road Guide to Design Systems, and mentor designers through communities like Roadtrip and HNG.

Here are 10 fun facts about me that you should know. ✦ This fun fact section was added only because my fiancee would be happy about it. ✦ I believe One Piece is the greatest anime ever made, and I am ready to defend this peacefully. ✦ I have a soft spot for Kit Kats. No further questions. ✦ I play chess and Call of Duty: Mobile, which means I enjoy peace and stress at the same time. ✦ I design with the brightness turned all the way up. My eyes have accepted their fate. ✦ Birds creep me out. I do not have an explanation for this. ✦ I have a strangely good sense of direction. I may not know why, but I usually know where. ✦ I founded Aether Esports, a Call of Duty: Mobile organisation in Nigeria. Top T2 team in Africa. ✦ Hamilton got me into musicals, and I have not looked back since. ✦ I prefer to chew my aspirin first before swallowing. Placebo effect that it works faster. We listen but we don't judge. ✦
