Hey, I’m Toba! My full name is Oluwatoba Ofomiyonwon, but most people just call me Toba. I’m currently based in Farnham, Surrey, in the UK, where I’m studying for my Master’s in UX Design at the University for the Creative Arts. It's been a great experience so far, allowing me to deepen my understanding of human-centered design and apply it to real-world projects.

Before this, I studied Surveying and Geoinformatics at Obafemi Awolowo University (O.A.U) in Nigeria. That gave me a solid foundation in problem-solving and spatial thinking, but my real passion has always been in design, technology, and building digital experiences.

Currently,  I work as a UX Designer at Airstride , a VC-backed startup helping companies scale their sales through automated partner channels. The product uses AI to help businesses build and manage distribution partnerships more efficiently. At Airstride, I work on improving the user experience across the platform—conducting research, mapping out user journeys, testing prototypes, and designing clean interfaces that support users’ needs. It’s a fast-paced, global team, and I love being involved in shaping a tool that supports growth in such an innovative way.

Outside of work and school, I enjoy pushing myself in different ways. I hit the gym three times a week, deepen my knowledge in front-end technologies, HTML, CSS & JavaScript, and spend time on charcoal drawing and painting as a creative outlet. I’m also still trying to beat my 1:15 Rubik’s Cube record (not there yet!).
