In a rapidly evolving tech landscape, Prosper is emerging as one of Nigeria’s brightest product design talents—channeling empathy, research, and innovation to shape meaningful digital experiences with global relevance.
Currently a product designer at Fat Beehive, one of the top 10 website agencies in the UK focused on social good, Prosper is designing impactful digital solutions that serve nonprofits and mission-driven organizations, combining aesthetics and usability to drive positive change.
His journey into tech began at a young age, growing up in Anambra State, Nigeria. With a natural curiosity for technology, he spent hours as a child dismantling electronics to understand how they worked. By the time he was 17, he was already repairing hardware, installing software, and networking systems. With a background in computer science and a lifelong passion for problem-solving, his transition into product design felt both natural and necessary.
Prosper’s approach to design is rooted in curiosity and empathy. He leverages design thinking, market insights, and research methodologies to craft user-centric digital products that solve real-world problems. His early exposure to computers, including learning typing with Mavis Beacon on a vintage Compaq desktop, formed the bedrock of his tech journey—one that would later extend to real impact across continents.
He has held design leadership and senior roles at several Nigerian and international companies, including: Movaex Logistics, where he led the design of a delivery platform that revolutionized customer retention and logistics efficiency, Filly Coder, where he was instrumental in the development of impactful SaaS products like Filly Jobs, Filly HR, and an accounting/payroll platform serving the HR and finance industries.
His commitment to excellence and continuous growth has made his work resonate in diverse sectors—ranging from logistics and fintech to health tech and nonprofit services.
In 2022, shortly after graduating with a degree in computer science, Prosper’s project “Procare”, a health-tech innovation, was selected among the Top 15 Most Innovative Projects in Nigeria during the Startupper of the Year Challenge by TotalEnergies. This prestigious competition, spanning over 35 African countries, recognizes young African innovators for creating scalable and impactful solutions. Prosper’s work not only received national recognition but also earned him an award from TotalEnergies Nigeria for innovation and impact in healthcare.
Beyond his professional work, Prosper is deeply invested in community and mentorship. He gives back to the design ecosystem as a mentor at Genesys Tech Hub, where he guides and nurtures the next generation of designers in Nigeria.
In the same year, Prosper championed the Dreams World Initiative—a nonprofit movement committed to promoting social equity through education, disability awareness, and skills development. Through this initiative, he empowers marginalized communities and people with disabilities by providing access to digital education and tools for self-reliance. The initiative reflects his core belief: that everyone deserves a chance to participate in shaping the future through innovation.
Whether he’s crafting intuitive digital platforms, mentoring aspiring designers, or championing social inclusion, Prosper’s impact is both practical and profound. His design process is a delicate balance of empathy, functionality, and purpose—qualities that make him a standout in Nigeria’s growing design community.
Looking ahead, Prosper envisions building startups that solve real-life problems, publishing educational resources for designers, and perhaps even exploring his creativity through filmmaking—continuing to blend innovation with human connection.
In a world where technology constantly redefines how we live and work, Prosper is a name to remember. His journey is a compelling reminder that with passion, purpose, and empathy, young Nigerians can lead change not just locally, but globally
