I Served as the Founding Designer, Building from the Ground Up
I led Product, Marketing & Brand Design at Africa BlockChain Alliance on a project called BlockTremp. I joined the Blocktremp team as the founding designer and shipped products that helped the company grow from 0 to it’s first 2,000 users, partner with MTN Nigeria to offer BlockTremp as a value-added service and receive positive user feedback from early adopters regarding ease of use and engagement.
My work at BlockTremp ranged from designing the brand and guidelines for the visual identity of BlockTremp, creating a foundational design system, delivering end to end design solutions, creating prototypes for developers handoff and internal testing, interviewing stakeholders, conducting usability testing sessions, and making continuous iterations to product releases based on feedback and new insights.
Listed here are some of the projects I designed.

BlockTremp Learning Pathway; Redefining How Users Learn
I designed a comprehensive learning management system for BlockTremp that transformed it's fragmented learning experience into a unified, end-to-end journey. Prior to shipping this feature, users had to manually find corresponding quizzes, coding challenges, or projects for each course. I created a connected learning flow that allowed users to take tailored courses, quizzes, challenges, and projects within a single pathway, while still retaining the option for standalone learning for flexibility.
This design became a key growth driver for BlockTremp. It directly influenced user acquisition and contributed to partnership discussions with MTN Nigeria, positioning BlockTremp as a more structured and scalable learning ecosystem.

Designing TrempLearn; A Co-Branded Learning Experience with MTN Nigeria
In partnership with MTN Nigeria, I designed a new learning product under BlockTremp called TrempLearn, envisioned to bring digital skill-building to MTN’s user base as a value-added service. The goal was to onboard an estimated 5,000 new users per month in the first year.
Although TrempLearn ultimately didn’t launch, the project strengthened my ability to design within co-branded ecosystems, align multiple stakeholder needs, and translate product goals into a smooth, accessible learning experience tailored for large-scale telecom users.

Designing BlockTremp Quiz; Turning Learning into Skill Validation
I designed an interactive quiz experience for BlockTremp that allowed learners to test and validate their knowledge after completing a course. The goal was to bridge the gap between learning and assessment, giving users a simple way to measure their understanding of specific topics within their chosen field. I included a review flow where users could see the correct answers to questions they missed, reinforcing learning and helping them track progress over time.
The quiz feature significantly improved engagement and became a key part of BlockTremp’s learning ecosystem by turning passive course consumption into active participation.

Designing Coding Challenges; A Hands-On Experience for Technical Learners
While quizzes were effective for theoretical learning, they didn’t provide enough depth for technical users who wanted to write and test code. To solve this, I designed the Coding Challenges feature for BlockTremp to give developers a hands-on way to validate their skills beyond quizzes. I studied existing platforms like LeetCode and HackerRank and designed a tailored experience that allowed users to take challenges based on skill level, tech stack, or language. I created the full end-to-end experience, including a code editor, test and submission flows, and feedback screens that reinforced learning after each attempt.

Designing the First Version of BlockTremp; Turning an Idea into a Product Experience
I designed the first public version of BlockTremp. The goal was to onboard users and communicate BlockTremp’s value. I prioritized a frictionless onboarding flow, ensuring new users quickly understood what the platform offered and how to get started.
The launch successfully brought in BlockTremp’s first 2,000 users, marking a major milestone for the company. Later iterations introduced a search feature directly on the homepage, allowing visitors to instantly explore courses based on their interests, giving value upfront and building trust even before sign-up. This shift improved engagement and positioned BlockTremp as a transparent, user-first learning platform that delivered credibility, and growth from the very first interaction.

Designing a Talent Insight Dashboard for BlockTremp Business
I designed the BlockTremp Business Dashboard, an analytics platform that helps corporate users track and evaluate the performance of learners registered under their organization. The design focused on giving businesses clear visibility into key talent metrics, including courses completed, challenges solved, projects submitted, and overall skill progression, allowing them to easily identify top-performing and high-potential candidates.

BlockTremp Wallet; Gamifying Learning with Blockchain
I designed a blockchain-based reward system that transformed learning into a more engaging experience. We introduced BlockTremp Tokens, a real, tradeable cryptocurrency built on the Algorand blockchain. The experience rewarded users for learning activities such as completing courses, taking quizzes, and finishing coding challenges, allowing them to accumulate tokens they could later trade, spend, or redeem for cash.
This new reward model provided tangible value to users. By connecting progress with real-world rewards, the feature deepened user engagement and strengthened BlockTremp’s position as an innovative and learner-centric edtech product.

BlockTremp Achievements; Gamifying Progress on BlockTremp
To boost learner motivation and foster consistent engagement, I designed a gamified achievement system for BlockTremp. Inspired by platforms like Duolingo and Chess.com, the feature introduced milestones and badges tied to specific accomplishments such as completing courses, passing quizzes, or finishing projects. I focused on creating a rewarding experience that celebrated user progress and reinforced learning behavior through visual recognition and clear goal structures.
This feature transformed how users interacted with BlockTremp. User feedback highlighted a stronger sense of accomplishment and community, positioning the platform closer to its mission of making learning both enjoyable and rewarding.

My Impact and Lessons in Closure
At BlockTremp, I played a pivotal role in shaping the platform’s product experience from its inception to a fully realized learning ecosystem that attracted users and industry attention. I designed and launched key experiences all focused on deepening engagement, improving retention, and making learning more rewarding.
Although BlockTremp was eventually discontinued due to management and funding challenges, the impact of my work remained clear: I helped build a platform that reached thousands of users, drove meaningful learning outcomes, and positioned BlockTremp for partnership discussions with MTN Nigeria, demonstrating my ability to design not just for usability, but for measurable business and user success.
