About Me
Folake Ayiloge is a creative writer/producer/editor, director, and occasionally an actress based in New York City. Most recently, she served as a digital producer at The Daily Show (Comedy Central/Paramount).
At The Daily Show, she received an Emmy nomination, two NAACP Image Awards, and five Webby Awards for her work creating content for social media on the Digital Expansion team. Her past employers include Rachael Ray and USA & SYFY Networks (NBCUniversal, LLC).
Folake graduated from The College of New Jersey in 2016 with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Communication Studies (Radio/TV/Film) and Interactive Multimedia. She was heavily involved in the Student Film Union and Lions Television, rising to Vice President and President/Stage Manager respectively. She is a two-time Jury Award winner at Campus MovieFest for films she wrote, produced, edited, and directed.
Always looking to expand her craft, she has a certification in Advanced Visual Effects from the School of Motion, and completed Sketch Writing 101, 201 and Improv 101 at the Upright Citizens Brigade. She was selected out of 100 applicants for the WMTPS: A Day in the Life of Late Night workshop, where she was mentored in Field Producing.
When she’s not content creating for work, Folake is content creating with her friends. She pitches in as a crew member on set and script consults on assorted short films, several of which went on to win awards at festivals.
She aspires to inspire.
