Designer Sushi podcast is about the everyday life of a UX designer through the perspectives of two career switcher UX designers that have a shared lived experience in Japan. UX Design is a hot industry and popular among people that are looking to transition from their previous careers. But it also comes with struggles especially when you’re working in a different country. This show will give an insider look at our UX career where we discuss our wins, growth, and challenges as we navigate our new career. We also talk about our experience working in Japan and how that can also be an added obstacle as a foreigner working in the UX industry.
Our aim is to have authentic UX conversations and discuss our international work experience so that we can inspire those that want to pursue UX, to work abroad, or for UX Designers to relate to our journey! So have your favorite nigiri on hand and enjoy!

7: Being a Product Designer as a Nigerian in Canada ft. Mosope Adebowale
Our content has been heavily focused on UX in Japan, however, some listeners have reached out to us because they were curious to know about the UX industry in Canada too, especially as a foreigner or newcomer! We invited, Mosope Adebowale, a very talented Product Designer at Meta located in Toronto, Canada. Mosope was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, and then moved to Toronto a few years ago to further his product design career. We learned a lot about his drive and ambition to move to a new country and culture, not to mention the number of talented designers in Nigeria as well.
Some topics we discussed:
The growing tech industry in Nigeria and Africa
Experiencing cultural shocks in both personal and work life in Canada
Navigating the job hunting process and overcoming “the Canadian experience” (a barrier for newcomers or immigrants requiring work experience in Canada).
Discussing any challenges or differences in being a Product Designer in Canada compared to Nigeria
We hope Mosope’s story inspires and resonates with the listeners who have experienced the challenges of career switching or job hunting in a different country!
