Born in Nigeria, Bayo’s parents instilled strong life values built on hard work and persistence at an early age. Early on, he realized that diversity is a strength.  This belief propelled him to work very hard to achieve personal goals and objectives with the firm conviction that he could be anything he wanted to be regardless of race or background., Bayo moved to Texas at the age of five; at 17, he moved to Calgary and graduated from the University of Calgary with a BSc in Computer Science.

Now, based in Toronto, he currently holds a degree in Fashion Design at Toronto Metropolitan University , where his heritage, experiences, and love of color inform his designs. His designs mix his love of the exuberance of Haute Couture and his appreciation for art history, and he constantly strives to show people the beauty of diversity. He has interned as a designer for menswear brand Fari Hara and worked for Hudson North, a private label of the Hudson’s Bay Company.
