Core Team

A Recipe for Success

At Wallifornia, the core team is a trio of passionate individuals stirring up ideas and cooking up bold projects. But let’s be real — every great dish needs more than just a few ingredients.

We’re surrounded by inspiring mentors, loyal friends, and essential partners who add their unique flavors, spice up our vision, and keep our ecosystem thriving. Together, they’re the secret sauce to everything we do.

Because let’s face it : the best meals, and the best ideas, are always meant to be shared.
