Career Journey

The Biscuit Wrapper That Started It All

When Abimbola Ayinde entered the University of Ilorin, it wasn't to study her dream course. Admitted into Forestry and Wildlife after hoping to pursue Medicine, she planned to eventually change direction. Instead, an unexpected encounter with a UI/UX seminar introduced her to a field that perfectly matched the curiosity she had carried since childhood. In this personal essay, she reflects on rejection, resilience, mentorship, and how design became more than a profession, it became a lens for understanding people, products, and opportunities.
