Loveth Akodu — product designer, community builder, and the woman behind Teen Techies Academy — is one of the most compelling voices in Nigeria’s growing design ecosystem. And she’s only just getting started.
There is a particular kind of audacity that belongs to people who build before anyone tells them they can. Loveth Akodu, popularly known as “That Tech Babe,” is one of those people. In four years as a product and UI/UX designer based in Lagos, Nigeria, she has built a career defined not just by craft, but by impact — across products, communities, and classrooms.
But for Loveth, it was never really about accumulating achievements. It was about access — and the stubborn belief that talent doesn’t care where you’re born.
A Designer Across Industries
Loveth is a Product Design Specialist at Rwazi, where she transforms complex datasets into seamless user experiences and visual systems. Her work spans an impressive breadth of industries — fintech, Web3, health, energy, transportation, and e-commerce — giving her a rare, cross-sector perspective on what it means to design products that actually work for real people.
Her approach is rooted in data and empathy in equal measure. She combines user research, prototyping, and storytelling to craft interfaces that don’t just look good — they drive results. Her track record includes a proven 30% boost in user engagement across the products she’s worked on.
Her portfolio, available at akoduloveth.framer.website, is a testament to her craft — considered, purposeful, and grounded in real problem-solving.
A Community Builder at Heart
Beyond the screens, Loveth has made it her mission to be a connector. She has volunteered with and contributed to some of Nigeria’s most respected tech communities and platforms, including TechCabal, Technext, Founders Connect by Peace Itimi, Bchain Africa, and the Roundtable with Kennedy Ekezie, among others. She has also served as a project manager for initiatives like Tech for Social Impact by Freshwaters, The Hackers Secret Conference by iimonex, and the Jamie Pajoel International (JPI) Leadership Conference — where over 3,000 delegates attended — amongst others.
She hosted the “After NYSC — What Next?” event, a gathering where she invited prominent speaker like Hectoriyke Okechukwu, Engr. Chidomere Ndubuisi, amongst others that gave young Nigerian graduates a practical roadmap for life after their nigeria national service. The event reflected something essential about Loveth: she doesn’t just participate in communities — she creates spaces within them.
“I’ve always believed that if you’ve been given access, your job is to open the door wider for the next person.”
Recognised. Featured. Celebrated.
The wider tech community has taken notice. Loveth was featured in Technext’s Women in Tech Trivia Series — a weekly spotlight that profiles female tech professionals and founders across Nigeria — and was previously recognised in the YAPPI Student Spotlight series. She is also a first-place hackathon winner with Team Meraki at an Ingressive for Good Hackfest — one of Africa’s biggest tech hackathon platforms.
These are not the credentials of someone waiting to be discovered. They are the hallmarks of someone who has been building, quietly and consistently, all along.
What’s Next
Today, Loveth is channelling that same energy into her next — and perhaps most ambitious — chapter: Teen Techies Academy, an initiative she founded to give Nigerian teenagers an early and meaningful start in tech and design. You can follow her work and connect with her on LinkedIn.
The world is only just beginning to catch up.
