Solomon Rotimi
Senior Product Designer & Design Engineer
I’m Solomon, a designer and builder based in Tallinn. I help teams turn complex product problems into clear, useful experiences—from the first question to the shipped interface.
Over the past seven years, I’ve worked across SaaS, digital identity, and healthcare. At MailerLite, I worked on SSO and account experiences. At Unstoppable AI, I designed for digital identity, and through freelance work with EdenCare, I explored how AI could support healthcare workflows.
My work spans product discovery, research, interaction design, and AI-forward development. I enjoy questioning what needs to exist, making the important parts easier to use, and carrying the details through into code.
Beyond product work, I build side projects, watch anime, practice mobile photography, and teach. In Build and Think Better, I use fictional product simulations to teach people about questioning requirements and testing decisions. I’m also studying Human–Computer Interaction, with a particular interest in how people understand, question, and trust AI systems.
