Built by Dayo

I build useful digital things with feeling.

I'm Dayo — a creative technologist who designs and builds websites, iOS prototypes, and interface systems end to end. I care about the part of software you can feel: motion, color, sound, and the small decisions that make a product human.

Color / sound theory

Analog red tension

An interactive study in how color, rhythm, and feedback can change the emotional tone of an interface.

Alert, direct, editorial

Uses neighboring reds and compressed sound intervals to make the interface feel focused and slightly charged.

About

Function first. Feeling always.

I'm David “Dayo” Adekanbi — a creative technologist who likes the part of software you can feel. I work end to end: naming the problem, sketching the system, writing the copy, and shipping a working version instead of another deck.

My work pulls from Nigerian culture, music, and the conviction that accessibility and atmosphere belong in the same sentence. A party game in Pidgin, a music archive that feels like the room it documents, a color system you can hear — different products, same question: what should this feel like?

Currently

  • Building W2W and ApplyWise toward working prototypes
  • Expanding the Wetin Be Dis category decks through group play
  • Studying how color and sound change the feeling of interfaces

Study rooms

How digital products get their feeling.

Seven rooms, one per discipline. Each one holds the research, the rules I extracted, and how it shows up in my builds.

How I work

How I think through builds.

01

I start with the real problem.

Before designing screens, I try to understand what the thing is supposed to help someone do.

02

I care about feeling, not just function.

Color, motion, sound, spacing, and language all shape how a product feels to use.

03

I build before I over-explain.

Prototypes help me think. I like making rough versions, testing the idea, and improving from there.

04

I keep accessibility in the foundation.

Good design should be easier to understand, easier to navigate, and more respectful of different users.

Built by Dayo

Let's build something useful.

I'm open to websites, product ideas, prototypes, creative technology projects, and thoughtful collaborations. If you have an idea that needs structure, design, or a working first version, reach out.
