In this DesignTalk, Sarah Shaibu will address typical ethical issues that designers face on a daily basis and how to navigate through them to create better products.

I believe good design should be usable, simple, and attractive, and is ultimately the result of a comprehensive understanding of the intended user. I love learning about new things while honing and expanding my craft, pushing myself to be better.
I'm currently a UI/UX Designer at Incsub and also a Designer Advocate for Figma, where I'm helping make design accessible to African designers through a strong foundation in design education and also building a design community connecting designers across Africa.
I'm always on the lookout for new concepts in designs or amazing new trends in the technological and design ecosystem as my goal is to raise, guide and mentor the next generation of aspiring designers across Africa.
My hobbies include Mentoring those interested in learning User Interface Design or User Experience Design, Mastering new Design Concepts and putting them to use in my works, football, listening to Hip-Hop Music, and Watching Movies.
