Hi, I’m Alobi

Why people call me Alobi
小A
My parents call me “Little A.” The A became the beginning of another name.
ALOBI
I remembered hearing it in a dream. Strange, specific, and somehow mine.
SNOOPY?
Maybe that was the sound I heard. But Alobi was the version that stayed.

WHAT I WORK ON
Buildings and apps, mostly
Most weeks are split between architecture studio and product design at BTG Product Studio. I’m also a project designer on the Sankofa Bamboo Greenhouse, and I lead a fabrication crew as a TA.
WHAT I LIKE
Off the clock
There’s music on almost all the time. I bring a camera when I travel, and I’ll go a long way for a good meal with friends. Most of the photo wall further down comes from those trips.
