Oakland, United States

Also known by her handle, afroDJiak, Jamica El believes in the power of music and technology to tell stories.

Over the last decade, Jamica has curated DJ sets at events for Facebook, Apple, Macy’s, Cadillac, Almay, Google, and Radio One (to name a few). In her five years at Apple, she worked with designers and engineers to ship mobile devices, wearables, and software. Whether she’s designing for dance floors, pixels, or products, her process remains the same: research, observe, quickly prototype, collaborate, and test.

When she’s not spinning, prototyping, or collaborating, Jamica loves talking about black cultural production, spending time with her new family and cooking global comfort food. Sometimes even at the same time.
