From studying architecture at both undergraduate and master’s levels, to dabbling in design schools, stock photography, and more, Dimeji’s journey is a masterclass in multi-passionate entrepreneurship.
This episode dives deep into how creators can reinvent themselves, balance creative chaos with structure, and navigate career pivots—even in the midst of personal transitions like relocating to a new country or raising a child full-time.
