About
Hi, I’m Chukwuemeka Iheonye — a Senior Product Designer with 6+ years of experience crafting user-centered digital experiences across fintech, SaaS, nonprofit, and enterprise platforms. I specialize in turning complex problems into intuitive, elegant solutions—balancing business goals with real user needs.
I’ve led impactful work at organizations like BAFTA UK, where I redesigned a national sustainability platform used across the media industry, improving accessibility and engagement by 25%. At Carbon MFB, I shaped the design of core B2B and consumer fintech products for over 3 million users—helping launch tools that increased adoption, retention, and satisfaction. I’ve also built scalable design systems and collaborated across disciplines to bring thoughtful, consistent experiences to life.
I’m passionate about design that makes a difference—whether I’m embedded in a product team, running discovery, or jumping into high-priority projects to push things forward. If you're looking for someone to partner on a meaningful project, refine your product’s UX, or just want feedback on your app or site—I’d love to connect.
