Document Foundation ☛ Community Member Monday: Ndidi Folasade Ogboi
Tell us a bit about yourself! I live in Lagos, Nigeria, and I spend my time dabbling into user experience design with research, although these days, I’m diving deeper into research. I’m a big fan of books, especially well-written fiction. Music is also a huge part of my life.
