Bridging Education, Technology, and Design
I’m Temilorun Mobolaji Okediji, an education technologist, product designer, and digital strategist passionate about transforming learning experiences through innovation and purposeful design. My work sits at the intersection of education, technology, and social impact, with a clear mission: to expand digital access, bridge learning gaps, and empower the next generation with skills for the future.
What I Do
As the Project Officer for the DEFINED Project (Digital Education for Innovation and Economic Development), I lead digital education interventions across South-West Nigeria. This includes the Byte Busters coding clubs, where I introduce young learners to coding, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills, and oversee digital literacy programs designed for both teachers and students.
My journey has also seen me contribute to policy-level digital transformation efforts at the Federal Ministry of Education, where I helped advance the Nigeria Education Management Information System (NEMIS)—enhancing data quality, accessibility, and the use of data for better decision-making in education.
My Creative & Technical Edge
Beyond education projects, I’m a skilled product designer, graphic designer, and web designer. I believe that great solutions are not just functional but beautifully crafted and user-centered. My creative works span:
Product Design: Prototyping user experiences for digital products, apps, and platforms.
Graphic Design: Creating visual stories through brand assets, posters, social media content, and marketing materials.
Web Design & Development: Building modern, responsive websites and web applications tailored to education and social impact initiatives.
You can explore some of my projects and designs in the Portfolio section of this website.
Mentoring & Community Building
I’m deeply committed to mentoring young people, training teachers, and facilitating workshops that build digital competencies and 21st-century skills. Through both formal and informal engagements, I help educators and youths understand and navigate the evolving digital landscape.
Let’s Collaborate
I am open to collaborations, partnerships, and projects that drive digital transformation in education, foster youth empowerment, or explore creative design solutions. Whether you’re an organization, educator, or creative, I’d love to connect and work together to make meaningful impact.
Let’s build the future of learning, together.
