HEY, I’M TOMI
I like to think of myself as a multifaceted being simply because my interests and passions are quite varied, and they make up a large part of who I am today.
I enjoy surfing the web, exploring stuff, writing, pushing pixels, drawing (sometimes), learning about technology, making art, meeting people, visiting places, taking photos, the list goes on...
I’m a Nigerian from the yoruba ethnic group. I come from a family of 5, and I mostly work as a designer for a living. I’m also Christian, so I subscribe to certain values and beliefs.
LIFE
I'm really curious about life. I believe the essense of life is to live for a purpose bigger than myself. I strongly follow the ideology that I am not just my work, so I try to make my life as meaningful as possible. I'm also intrigued by idea of love, giving, service, accountability, gratitude, recreation, and reproduction.
CAREER
I run a design innovation outfit through which I consult for companies and collaborate with internal teams to help rethink processes, uncover insights, build systems, and deliver services that will enable their users, customers and enhance their businesses.
Previously, I worked in the e-commerce sector, helping to redefine the shopping experience for wholesale electronics.

EDUCATION
Although I'm self-thought, I explored creative technology for a postgraduate program. Projects explored and executed during this time can be found here. I also read computer science for first degree. Asides all these, I still take on independent studies to broaden my knowledge or explore something new.
