Ayofemi Kirby
Ayofemi Kirby is a global cultural and creative strategist who builds bridges between art, ideas, and impact — connecting the worlds of creativity, community, and commerce. Through her work, she helps organizations and artists tell stories that shape culture and that move people to take inspired action.
As founder of ElevenThirtySix Strategies and Galerie36, Ayofemi moves between strategy and aesthetics — advising institutions, curating experiences, and creating spaces that center beauty, depth, and meaning in a hyperconnected, ever-changing world.
Ayofemi holds degrees from UNC Chapel Hill, American University, and the Harvard Extension School, and certificates from Duke University and Sotheby's Institute of Art. Through E36 and Galerie36, Ayofemi continues to build platforms that build meaningful connections, elevate culture, and that create space for new narratives to thrive.
