My name is Opemipo Aikomo.

I was born in Lagos, Nigeria to Odunola and Isaac Aikomo. I am the eldest of three - me, Nife (Oluwanifemi) and Feyi (Oluwafeyikemi). I grew up with my family in Alimosho.

I attended Foundation Junior School in Ikotun and then Providence Heights in Fagba. After this, I spent six years in Ile-Ife where I got a degree in Computer Engineering from OAU (Obafemi Awolowo University).

I was employee #1 at Paystack, one of the leading financial technology companies in Africa. I joined in 2015 to design and build the early product experience. Over a decade, I set up a 20-person design org spanning brand, product, editorial, systems and operations.

I love making things and fostering communities for making things. I founded Independent Arts, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Nigerian artists. I also co-founded Devcenter, a community of over 20,000 software developers in Africa.

My girlfriend and I run a studio called Moonlight to help our friends - artists and founders - bring ideas to life.
