These painting are available for #100,000 ($100) each Please retweet so we can get them sold and help raise money for my dad’s surgery
If you’ve always wanted to collect art from me this is the best time. Name your price and it’s yours. I am in dire straits.

No difference between Orunmila and Socrates. It's all about documentation and storytelling.

Currently in Lisbon with @jjarthur121 for @websummit, the world’s biggest technology event. We will be showcasing @Replikit_ai and talking about the future of brand and marketing compliance and how we are helping brands stay consistent and save millions in regulatory fines while working with creative agents. If you’re coming to websummit, do check out our booth at Pavilion 1, Booth A2-48 on Thursday, Nov 12th! #websummit2026lisbon #brandcompliance

Building an editing tool, you can just click away to choose a style you want, even sound or layout. No need to crack your mind or drag. Just click away

Last year @Olatoba9 reviewed my portfolio and told me it would sell more as a personal website than a portfolio… Except you are applying to a role for creative madness, no need to drive a recruiter through one
Quick tip: Imagine you’re a recruiter reviewing hundreds of portfolios. You come across one with a door animation or a flying window. Would you stick around to explore the portfolio, or move on to the next one?

Designed with @paper: layout design, asset prep and visual explorations. @fal: All the GenAI models I needed for 3d/motion assets and editing. @inflight: feedback, breakpoint tests and content design. Built with @OpenAI gpt 5.3 Sol and @claudeai Opus 5.5 in @conductor_build (using blender, playwright and illustrator)
At the start of this year, I decided to expand the scope of my work beyond traditional design. This comes after more than 11 years of building visual systems, working on design automation workflows and exploring how AI could change creative production, I kept running into problems that couldn’t be solved with design alone. I wanted to understand what was happening under the hood. So I spent the last several months reading research papers, learning about machine learning, studying how computers understand and interpret visual information, and exploring where my experience as a designer could contribute to some of the open problems in applied visual AI research. Along the way, I’ve been building products, experimenting with different models, training some of mine and working through some pretty interesting technical challenges. It’s been a process of connecting two worlds I find increasingly difficult to separate: design and machine intelligence. I’m bringing all of that work together in a new portfolio. This is a reflection of how my practice has evolved, the things I’m building, technical problems I’m solving, and how I think about the future of design as AI continues to change it. There’s a lot more to come.

Picked up an @awwwards honors for my folio ✨
A new version of me: dejiajetomobi.com/ ✨ Even though I’m now more ingrained in Product Design, my first love was Brand Design. Being able to express the strategy and vision of a brand in a distinct way has always been an exciting challenge. And I’m still using many of those skills in my day-to-day work as a Design Systems Product Designer — from layout and typography to iconography and micro-interactions. I don’t think these skills are meant to be kept behind one or two case studies. I see them as part of my life’s work, whether it’s an exploration, something that never shipped, or an approved and shipped design. That’s why I went with a gallery-themed website this time. Rather than keeping my work behind a handful of polished case studies, I wanted somewhere I could treat my work as a body of work — explorations, shipped work, experiments, little details and everything in between. A space that can serve as inspiration for me, and hopefully for others too. Introducing a new version of me: dejiajetomobi.com #portfolio

this was the initial exploration, it just didn't feel right to me at first + the modal design had a lot going on.

This is f*cking insane. Anthropic engineer: "You're not supposed to prompt Opus 5.5 You're supposed to build a system that prompts itself. At Anthropic, 90% of our engineers have already built these systems" In 30 minutes, she walks through exactly how Anthropic builds agents that remember, fix their own mistakes and get sharper with every run. Better than any $1000-$2000 agent course I've seen. Watch it, then read the article below ↓
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Lamis never says "You're not supposed to prompt Opus 5.5” in here talk at AI Dev Con. The caption misrepresents the video knowing most won’t watch the video all the way through and jump to the articles. youtube.com/watch?v=tTcxVv…

One of the biggest lessons this year is to stop being so considerate in situations you are not considered.
