Lead AI Designer

About Me

Hi! I’m Damilola (Dami) Yakub — an AI product designer who believes lasting growth comes from earning trust, not just optimizing metrics.

Through Accel Studio, I help FinTech startups turn complex ideas into clear, intuitive, and revenue-generating experiences. Startups need to ship fast—I help them ship faster without sacrificing craft or care.

My work balances speed, usability, and strategic depth so founders can move decisively, build trust with users, and grow sustainably.

Passion

Animations

I’ve always been drawn to animation for its visual richness, sound quality, and storytelling magic. It constantly inspires how I think about flow, emotion, and detail in my own design work. I'm also an avid anime fan.

Gaming

I’m a competitive gamer and ranked in the top 0.1% of Efootball players globally. I love the mental discipline, quick decision-making, and strategic depth that high-level gaming demands. it keeps me sharp and focused.

Documentaries

I geek out over historical documentaries, they give me a window into how people thought, lived, and built systems in the past. It’s a fun way to connect patterns from history to modern-day design and product challenges

Pit Crew Mindset

I see founders like F1 race car drivers—high-performers navigating intense speed, pressure, and stakes. My role is to be part of their pit crew: calm under pressure, precise with execution, and always focused on keeping them in motion.

I design fast because they need fast—but I never compromise on clarity, usability, or craft. My process is built to reduce friction, align with business goals, and move in sync with the founder’s urgency.

I earn trust through consistency and accountability. Founders shouldn’t have to micromanage; they need partners who anticipate, simplify, and deliver. And while I move fast, I’m grounded in ethics—designing responsibly, with long-term human impact in mind.

Speed, integrity, and thoughtful design: that’s how I help founders keep racing toward bold outcomes—confident that someone has their back in the pits.
