Education in Nigeria has always been more than just classrooms, lectures, and exams. It is communities, conversations, opportunities, and the daily struggle to stay organized.
But for millions of students, these pieces are scattered across different platforms.
Important school updates get missed.
Course materials are buried in WhatsApp groups.
Timetables are confusing screenshots.
Students struggle to collaborate effectively.
And finding the right academic resources often feels like a search mission.
That is why i built EduConnect for the Figma Config Makeathon
A modern education super app designed to bring the entire student experience into one connected ecosystem.
EduConnect is built for Nigerian students across Secondary Schools, Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education , giving every student a smarter way to learn, connect, and grow.
A Social Network Built for Students
EduConnect comes with an education focused social feed where students can stay updated with:
• School announcements
• Campus events
• Education news
• Examination updates
• Scholarships
• Learning opportunities
Think of it as a digital campus where every student has a voice.
🎓 Personalized Student Experience
Every student gets an experience built around them.
During onboarding, students select their education level, institution, class level, and interests.
This allows EduConnect to deliver relevant updates instead of overwhelming users with information they don't need.
A secondary school student gets SSCE focused resources.
A university student gets institution-specific updates.
Every experience feels personal.
📚 The Future of Lecture Management
For higher institution students, EduConnect transforms the way classmates collaborate.
Students can create or join Lecture Rooms , private academic spaces for their classes.
A course representative can create a room, add courses, invite classmates, and organize their entire academic workflow.
Inside each course space, students can:
✅ Access course materials
✅ Upload PDFs, slides, documents, and notes
✅ Add lecturer information
✅ Share resources with classmates
No more searching through endless chat messages for that one important document.
🤖 AI-Powered Academic Organization
EduConnect uses AI to make learning easier.
Students can upload handwritten notes, and AI converts them into clean, structured, readable documents.
Students can also upload timetable images, and AI automatically extracts courses, dates, and schedules , turning a messy screenshot into an organized academic calendar.
Your timetable becomes interactive.
Your notes become searchable.
Your learning becomes smarter.
📖 Built for Secondary School Students Too
Secondary students get a personalized study companion.
They can:
• Track subjects
• Organize notes
• Monitor study progress
• Access past questions
• Prepare better for exams like WAEC, NECO, and JAMB
EduConnect helps students build better study habits early.
The future of education is not just about having more information.
It is about having the right information, at the right time, in the right place.
EduConnect is building that future , a connected academic ecosystem where every student can learn smarter, collaborate faster, and achieve more.
This is our vision.

AURA — Luxury Fragrance Website 🌸✨
AURA is a luxury fragrance website concept built around softness, atmosphere, and product storytelling.
The goal was to make the perfume feel almost weightless — combining dreamy skies, delicate pastel tones, translucent UI elements, and an oversized product visual to create an emotional first impression.
Special attention was given to:
• a product-focused hero that makes the fragrance the main visual anchor
• soft glassmorphism cards for fragrance notes, pricing, and product details
• an airy pastel palette inspired by clouds, light, and floral notes
• elegant typography that adds a premium editorial feel
• a fragrance selector that introduces different scents without distracting from the hero
• clear product discovery and shopping actions
• a mobile experience that keeps the same immersive visual atmosphere
• a lightweight mobile menu with product discovery and social touchpoints
The result is a soft, premium digital experience that combines luxury storytelling with clear e-commerce functionality.
Looking to create a distinctive website for your beauty, fragrance, or lifestyle brand? Let’s create something memorable ✨
The typography fits the fragrance vibe perfectly 🌷
The hardest brief in identity work is "make us look serious without making us look corporate."
Serious comes from consistency. Corporate comes from removing anything a person chose.
"Corporate comes from removing anything a person chose" is going straight in my notes. I'd push it further though, I think a lot of that removal happens in legal and stakeholder review, not the initial design pass. Do you find the fight is more with the client's own instincts or with whoever signs off after them?
