Hi, I’m Hakeeb. I’m a product design leader who enjoys crafting delightful experiences.

I am a Nigerian he/him living in Dubai, leading design on the Hotels team at Almosafer. I rejoined Almosafer in 2022 to help craft the digital travel experience for the MENA region's largest travel and tourism group, redefining how customers search, discover and book hotels.

As a designer, I am passionate about discovering and solving customer problems, but I equally value craft - sweating the details, polishing and creating delight. I believe a product should feel cohesive, with the whole being much better than the sum of the individual parts, whether built by one person or a team of hundreds. While I appreciate the unique competencies of my product and engineering partners, I believe product teams should have fewer boundaries, and there should be more overlap.

I'm an avid football fan, supporting FC Barcelona, and I try to spend time watching games and analysing how the team plays. Coaching and playing used to be a big part of my life but have lately taken a back seat as a pastime hobby. I got into weightlifting in 2023 — it's become a new passion, and I hope to break my 250kg leg press record in 2024.
