 Jack of All Trades, Master of… Everything! 

Currently crushing it as a Product Designer at Shopify (yes, that Shopify!), Dinma isn’t content with just one role. She’s also a freelance wizard through Toptal, working her magic for global clients. Think of her as the Swiss Army knife of design – versatile, reliable, and always ready for action!

Whether it’s making healthcare less headache-inducing, turning finance into something fun, or revolutionizing education, Dinma’s got her digital fingerprints all over it.

 The Design Guru We All Need 

Here’s where it gets even cooler –Dinma Aniugbo isn’t keeping all her design secrets locked in a vault. Nope! She’s out there on social media, dropping knowledge bombs like they’re hot! Need design tips? She’s got you. Looking for tutorials? Consider it done. She’s the cool teacher we all wished we had in school.

 Mentorship Queen

 Through platforms like Designlab and ADPlist, Dinma is helping budding designers spread their wings. Think of her as the Yoda of design (but way more stylish). Her mentees aren’t just learning design – they’re learning how to conquer the design world!

 The Job-Finding Superhero Africa Needed

 But wait, there’s more! Tired of seeing talented African designers missing out on awesome opportunities, Dinma said “Not on my watch!” and created a job board. It’s like a matchmaking service, but instead of finding love, it’s finding dream design jobs. Remote work? Got it. Relocation opportunities? Check!

 The Real MVP (Most Valuable Pioneer) 

Let’s be real – Dinma Aniugbo isn’t just a product designer; she’s a one-woman revolution in the design world. While others are playing checkers, she’s playing 4D chess, creating opportunities, smashing barriers, and proving that with enough passion and determination, you can change an entire industry.

Through Design Chics, her non-profit focused on empowering African women in design, she’s not just opening doors – she’s building whole new buildings of opportunity! She’s showing the world that African designers aren’t just part of the conversation; they’re leading it.

So, what’s next for this design dynamo? Whatever it is, you can bet it’ll be game-changing. Because that’s just how Dinma Aniugbo rolls – changing the game, one design, one mentee, and one opportunity at a time!
