ABOUT · CHUKWUDI OWO

Product designer & creative technologist.

I build interfaces that give people more leverage over their attention, tools, and time — shipping things rather than decks, and treating research as a practice instead of a gate.

Currently founding an applied HCI practice focused on tools that increase user leverage and clarity, while taking on select product design work.
