Hi! I'm Busayo! Woman of God, content designer, storyteller, and agency owner from the golden state of California.

One of my core values is accessibility. I believe everyone should have access to technology, information, and ideas and I bring this forth into everything I do.

Fun fact: I'm multilingual in English and Spanish and I even used to live in Spain.

With over 15 years of experience in software development, I have survived through highs and lows, trials and tribulations, trends, new hotness, old and busted, and finally arrived at a place of realization... True wisdom is realizing that you know nothing. Or at least enough to be dangerous.
