I really, really love what these guys did for the #DevfestLagos website and mobile app. Please read the thread below for how the work was done. #DevFest2023.
Leading the design team for this year's DevFest Lagos was an incredible experience🫠 I was so happy when everyone was onboard with all our weird ideas; even when we were battling deadlines, it was amazing how we still found time to create a unique experience for everyone🥹🥹❤️❤️

YES SIR! One of the best things I've done was to go into building INITS with her.
Most tech people can't really alter their lives as they fall into a pattern that gives EVERYTHING to the product. The only person I have seen who has the best formula is @dftaiwo, his wife is his co-founder. She drives the business too.
