Androsky Lugo initially gained his Bachelor of Business from the University of Pennsylvania in 2000 but later switched his career goals and transitioned to Cornell University to obtain his Master of Architecture degree. He graduated with distinction from the program in 2002 before pursuing further designations in Building Science and Technology and Environmental Systems.

In 2003, Lugo returned to college at Cornell again to further his education in environmentally-conscious building and design. Throughout his two-decade career as an architect, Lugo has had the opportunity to take part in numerous top-level architectural projects. In 2012, he worked hand in hand with the San Francisco Historic Buildings Committee to plan and design renovations to several public service spaces.

While at Parkins and Rhodon, Lugo was the lead designer for a full shopping center, helped draft plans for a multi-story house of worship, and worked tirelessly with the local urban development team to design affordable housing.

In 2015, Lugo established the Architecture and Earth Awareness Foundation, which focuses on spreading awareness among architects, construction companies, and structural engineers about the importance of green initiatives in the building industry. To date, the company has helped spread sustainable ideas to more than 400 large-scale building projects around the globe.

Opeyemi Adegboye (Yemi) l
Seasoned UI/UX Designer | Digital Experience Architect | Educator

With over three years of experience in UI/UX design, I specialize in creating user-centered solutions that merge functionality with aesthetics. From my early beginnings as a freelance designer to my current role as a lead UI/UX Designer at TASAfrica, I have helped businesses craft intuitive, user-driven experiences that resonate.

Previously, I worked as a UI/UX Engineer at Lights on Heights, where I spearheaded impactful projects like the My Limestone App redesign, enhancing features such as offline check-in and geolocation-enabled panic alerts. My expertise lives across design systems, usability testing, and crafting scalable solutions for web and mobile platforms.

Passionate about sharing knowledge, I've tutored over 50 aspiring designers within 25 different African countries, helping them launch careers in tech. Beyond work, I attend tech events and webinars, most recently speaking at Tech1M's webinar, "Creating Memorable Experiences through User-Centric Designs."

I believe design is more than visuals, it's about solving problems, crafting memorable experiences, and connecting people. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me learning German, playing call of duty mobile or brainstorming ideas to give back to the community through tech education.
