        Working with Yinka is a true joy. He encapsulates what it means to be a true craftsperson, teammate, leader, and human-centered-human in a contemporary work setting. 

On the craft side, Yinka cares deeply for his work as a UX designer. He seeks constantly to improve not just his delivery skills, but also how he integrates his skills into his product team. He constantly trades ideas and approaches with his product and engineering partners. And he uses his research and collaboration skills to bring stakeholders into each big project. The end results are well thought out experiences that not only significantly improve products for users, but also have critical buy-in from leadership at each step.

And as a teammate, Yinka exemplifies a "lead by doing" ethos. Yinka was consistently one of the first people to raise their hands when operational challenges arose and we needed volunteers to explore problems. From rethinking and organizing design team collaboration rituals to better fit a growing team, to researching and writing pilot justifications, to developing tool and process evaluation frameworks, to working with hiring managers to adapt interview guides and practices, Yinka happily jumped in with energy, insights, and a desire to improve things for those around him.

I was lucky to have Yinka as a colleague and teammate. I look forward to seeing all of the things Yinka does in the future. Douglas Gaerte
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I was privileged to have Yinka in several classes as a professor in his major area of study.  Yinka is a talented designer with a good mix of technical skills combined with a solid understanding of audience.  He can not only execute a message technically well, but he knows what is important to communicate and how best to convey those ideas.  Besides his professional competence, Adeyinka is one of the nicest people with whom you will ever work.  Considerate of others, gracious, and interpersonally skilled, I valued every interaction I had with Yinka.  As a professor, graduation each year comes with mixed feelings.  We are proud of our students and their accomplishments and are anxious to see where their skills take them, but we also miss having them in class and enjoying their insights and creativity.  Yinka is one of the students I have most missed.  A top-quality young man.
