Welcome to Oyo Workshop’s /Projects section.
Here I’m deep diving into my projects from past 20 years.
There’s a lot of stories here which won’t directly link to work, but as in many entrepreneur’s life - work and personal life & interests fuse together quite often.
I’ve always done what I love and care about, hopefully it shines through when reading these pages.
Thank you!
