Damola Akinleye
Staff Product Designer & Builder
Hi, I’m Damola. Over the past eight years, I’ve turned complex problems into useful digital products across different industries.
Today at Zalando , I work in Transactions & Payments, designing customer experiences used by millions of people across more than 23 European markets.
I use AI to prototype, code, and turn ideas into working products. I publicly document that practice and open-source some of my code on GitHub.
