{About me}

Hi! I'm Ayo, a designer with 4 years of experience creating functional digital products, stunning animations, and exciting visuals. 
My journey began as an Illustrator, and along the way I picked up 3D design, animation, marketing strategy, and UI/UX design. Over the years, I’ve honed these skills to become a multi-disciplinary designer developing designs, strategies, interactions, and campaigns that start from the development of a project to marketing a finished product.
