  • The Rukhayat Orekoya Story | Discouraged from drawing as a child; now a YC-backed designer | S01E09
    Jul 6 2024

    Rukhayat Orekoya is a full-stack designer based in Lagos, Nigeria. Her ability to deal with multiple parts of design, from Character design to UI/UX design, Graphics design, and most recently Game design, is what she refers to as "full stack". She is currently pursuing a degree in civil engineering at the University of Lagos, which may appear to be a far from my passion and line of work, but stems from her fascination with structure, form, and the urge to design and construct. Great structures, in her opinion, are ageless and hence a pure form of art.


    She has worked in a variety of design industries, mostly as a freelancer and in communities relevant to her specialty. As a result of her capacity to hone many skills, she is creative, always eager to learn and pay close attention to details.
