The Ubuntu Network Using Adobe Illustrator and Figma
The Ubuntu Network is an online platform that helps to connect international students across the UK while providing them with the information, guidance and advice they need to effectively navigate the UK Job market. It came into existence after the founder, who is an international student himself, realised the difficulties of getting a job in the UK. I joined the team as the Brand Designer and UX/UI Designer of the new app.

My in-depth research is available to view at: https://issuu.com/oluwatoniojo Title: ‘Uber Brand Extension Project’
My research led me to explore the use of Uber to travel home at night, especially regarding safety and convenience. In response I created a user journey mapping of the Uber navigation of a student night out, highlighting significant areas of frustration that could be transformed into design solutions for Uber’s Brand Extension.
A - Book Uber to Coco Tang cocktail bar B - 6 minute wait C - Uber arrives D - 15 minute journey E - Uber drops us in City Square as the side road is not accessible by car F - Walking in heels using Google Maps to find the bar G - Approached by a drunk man asking for directions to a hotel H - Bar entrance located but the bar is closed I - Use Google Maps to walk to Culture Club. Enter the club J - Accidentally separated halfway through the night - 2/3 phones dead K - Relocate each other at the bar L - Book Uber home M - Charged surge price N - Arrive at home O - Order McDonald’s through UberEats delivery P - 35 minute wait Q - Food arrives

Uber Brand Extension: Night Navigation Chosen Direction
Aim: to ensure safe travel home at night, especially in areas where Uber is inaccessible. Specification • Discrete night navigation for optimum safety walking home • Wearable Tech • Uses Uber’s safety-blue colour scheme From this decision and specification I created the six following concepts

Final Concept: uSquare and Uber Bouncer Sketching and Ideation
Final Concept: uSquare and Uber Bouncer Does it satisfy the specification?
Discrete night navigation for optimum safety walking home - uSquare is more discrete than pulling out your mobile phone to try and locate your destination Wearable tech - pocket-sized, attaches to keychain for safe keeping Uses Uber’s established safety-blue colour scheme - Uber Bouncer’s uniform/accessories for recognition are also in safety blue. The uSquare’s exterior coule be all blue or have highlights of safety blue with the main exterior being black and white, which is more in keeping with Uber’s visual identity
Athleisure Apparel Brand Concept
Brief: Create a fun, contemporary, distinctive brand identity system for MDC, a start-up athletics brand aimed at new talent, giving them a sense of ownership and professionalism.
