I design products for everyday life at Parts Apart Studio, my freelance practice. The Nọrọ Stool captures my design ethos: a functional object that is held together by its own material properties without the need for fasteners.
I studied product aesthetics for my PhD at the University of Toronto. My research focused on how memories of previously used objects affect product preferences and how to apply this to the design of products for the elderly.
I invented Pillsette, a medication management solution for people with chronic conditions. With some colleagues, I am commercializing this product as a Class 1 medical device with grants from Lab2Market, CABHI and BFN.
I also write a blog, previously worked on Maternal Figures, organized the Hardware Things community, and have contributed to some media publications. I love romcoms and old TV shows. DesignTO published a fun Q&A of me. You can contact me here.
