About

I’m Chike Opara, a results-driven Senior Product Designer with over 7 years of experience building user-centric, scalable digital products across fintech, telecommunications, edtech, automotive, and consumer platforms.

Currently leading the Product Design team at MTN Nigeria, I drive high-impact UX strategies that bridge business goals with seamless user experiences. I’ve spearheaded initiatives that improved task completion time by 40% and slashed development costs by 30% — real metrics, real outcomes.

My design process is rooted in empathy, data, and iteration. From conducting user interviews and usability testing to developing full-scale design systems, I collaborate across functions — product, engineering, marketing — to craft digital experiences that work for people.

Beyond the screen, I’m a mentor, a systems thinker, and a curious mind wiralways exploring the intersection of design, psychology, and business. I thrive in environments where ideas evolve fast, feedback is gold, and the goal is always to build better.

Let’s build something exceptional.
