Joké Durojaiye
Founder and Creative Director
I grew up in Lagos Nigeria, and the Seattle area has been home to my family since the year 2000. I love the diversity of the beautiful Northwest and genuinely enjoy the people I get to meet in the course of work and play. When I'm not busy designing and running the business; the most meaningful moments to me are the times spent enjoying little everyday things and being fully present with family and friends regardless of what we are doing.
Almost three decades of combined experience in Business Management, Human Resources, Multimedia Design and as a former licensed Real Estate Broker; has prepared me well for building a successful business out of my passion and natural talent for enhancing the home buying and selling experience.
Having taught Home Buying Classes to both first time and seasoned home buyers on the East-side and representing several of them along their journey to successful home ownership in tough market conditions; I learned first-hand the psychology, art and business of home selling and continue to stay informed with new regulations and technology of the ever-evolving real estate market. Expert knowledge of the local market and an understanding what appeals to the demography that makes up your target audience means I am able to capture your ideal buyer with a home thoughtfully staged with them in mind.
Being a small part of one of the most significant events in the lives of my clients bring me joy. My true passion lies in making a positive impact on everything I touch and everyone I meet. Using creative space planning and design to connect aspiring home buyers with their dream homes and optimizing the home sale process for sellers; allow me the privilege of doing what I enjoy the most. I am honored to add value to the business of my Broker partners.
Bryn Parish
Lead Designer
It all started at a very young age; I redecorated my bedroom every chance I had. I loved mixing things up, changing paint colors, and moving my furniture around. These days, inspired by nature, art, architecture, and travel, I am passionate about creating beautiful spaces.
After working many years as an administrative professional, I decided to pursue my dreams and use my creative talents for good. In 2020, I attended the Heritage School of Interior Design at the Seattle Design Center and earned Master Certification. I started my own interior design business called Brynterior and continue to work with clients in interior design.
I also love staging and being able to use my talents and skills to help houses look their best. Every house has a story, so I try hard to be authentic to the style, celebrate the character, and let the house shine! Nothing feels better than planning, styling, and placing furniture, and then celebrating the end result! I recognize that this is a team effort and that listening to the client is imperative for a successful outcome.
I hope to build relationships that are full of integrity and kindness.

Aderey Boe
Warehouse Coordinator
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and enjoy the wonderful natural beauty of this area. I live in Seattle with my girlfriend and our two cats, who support me in everything I do. In my free time (which is rare between school and work) I love woodworking, hiking, programming, and 3d modeling.
I’m currently getting my BA degree in business administration and will graduate summer of 2022. After that, I plan to continue gaining experience in business management, operations, and other areas I might find interesting. I hope to start medical school by 2025 and become a physician. Using my business experience, my dream is to start my own endocrinology practice or pharmaceutical research company.
I have a passion for solving complex problems, whether it’s in business, engineering, or anything else. I’m always willing to learn new technologies or tools to complete any task I’m given. Working for Genesis has allowed me to learn more about business operations, process design, managing teams, and engineering. I’ve also been able to improve my customer service skills and learn firsthand how putting the clients’ needs first results in a successful business.
Zack Sattiewhite
Staging Assistant
I grew up in Burien, Washington and have had the opportunity to live different parts of the Pacific Northwest.
I spent 12 years in the United States Army Reserves as part of the Military Police. I’m currently preparing to apply to the University of Washington in Bothell to complete a degree in Applied Computing.
I like to spend my time with my cat marmalade while reading different types of novels. When the weather is good I also take the time to enjoy outdoor activities such as going on bike rides, hiking, kayaking , and nature walks.
I enjoy learning new skills to expand my knowledge and try to find ways to apply it to what I am currently doing. I enjoy being part of the staging experience and seeing the end result.
