My Story
So, my name is Olajuwon, Juwon—highly prefer Jaiye (which, by the way, means enjoyment in Yoruba, so yes, I’m legally obligated to have a good time).
For the past 10 years, I’ve been creating better design experiences, with the last 5 years solely focused on designing interfaces and, well... convincing clients that whitespace is not "wasted space."
