Zoë is a design researcher, product/experience designer, and experienced daydreamer. She works as a senior experience designer on a team responsible for crafting delightful consumer experiences on Microsoft Teams.
She holds a BFA (Conferred with Honors) in Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design; her senior thesis project queried the myopic nature of design cultural references in her department's industrial design history curriculum. As a Ph.D. candidate at the Royal College of Art’s School of Design, she evolves that query. Her research explores the potential for a connection between creative heritage and design strategy in Nigeria and contemplates if practical engagement with historical design knowledge could lead to authentic output and innovative options in the Nigerian design-scape.
Zoë strongly believes that specificity is the killer of ignorance and applies this principle to all her work - echoing through all her curiosity and creating.
