About Me

Hi, I am Oluwajuwonlo Abayomi-Zannu (OJAZ), a Creative Technologist working at the intersection of people, technology, and environment. My work explores self-identity, growth, and life on Earth through human-centered and systems-driven design.

I focus on using technology as an enabler for inclusive development rather than an end in itself. Through gamified and participatory experiences, I help connect people to people, people to their environment, and ideas to real-world action. My approach emphasizes careful observation, clear problem mapping, and responsible innovation that avoids creating unintended social or environmental harm.

Professionally, I bring experience across product development, project management, business operations, and logistics and supply chain systems. This allows me to translate ideas into structured plans, coordinate diverse stakeholders, manage execution, and track outcomes toward meaningful impact.

I am especially interested in youth-led innovation, entrepreneurship, and development initiatives that create economic opportunity and strengthen local ecosystems. By combining Natural Sciences, Technology, Business, Humanities, Art, and Social Sciences, I support solutions that are inclusive, context-aware, and grounded in the realities of the communities they serve.

Creative Technologist @ Kuelewa Tech

Dec. 2024 – Present Interactive Media | Human-Centered Technology

As a Creative Technologist, I focused on crafting meaningful digital experiences at the intersection of storytelling, human-centered design, and technology. I developed web applications that addressed real business and community needs, including platforms for a law firm, an e-waste recycling company, a B2B logistics solution connecting third-party providers with FMCG companies, a low-cost CRM for small organizations, and a self-development tool prototype. Drawing from my background in product development, project management, sustainable development, and audiovisual production, I expanded into creative storytelling through projects such as Isokan, a community-focused webtoon, alongside my work in environmental photography, sound, lighting, projection, and voiceover production.

These combined experiences culminated in Kuelewa, a gamified, story-driven web application that integrates animation, digital art, code, voice work, and interactivity to guide users in navigating human-to-human, human-to-environment, and human-to-technology relationships, emphasizing thoughtful, responsible problem-solving that considers people, context, and impact.
