Two people. One studio. A shared belief that design, when done with care, changes how things feel.
Ayo builds with the same care he brings to design — every decision is deliberate, every detail earns its place.
From the first sketch to the final line of code, Ayo works across the full stack of a project. He co-founded Aelix Studios with the belief that the best student tools are built by people who understand what students actually need — not what a spec sheet says they do. His work on SFMe reflects a commitment to making financial clarity feel effortless for the people who need it most.
DisciplinesEllis thinks in systems — the kind of clear, considered thinking that makes a complex product feel simple to use.
Ellis approaches each project as a problem worth solving properly. Equal parts designer and developer, he brings the same rigour to a user flow that he brings to a database schema. At Aelix Studios, he is driven by a straightforward idea: that the tools students rely on every day should be as well-crafted as the work they help them do.
DisciplinesWe resist the pressure to move fast at the expense of quality. Our process is deliberate — we listen, question, and refine before we create.
Limitations clarify thinking. A restricted palette, a tight format, a fixed size — these are not obstacles but invitations to find what truly matters.
The space between two letters, the weight of a line, the curve of a corner — these micro-decisions are where quality lives or dies.
