Hey! I’m Keyan — I believe in strategic design with a high bar for craft.

Design come from human experience; on both sides of the screen. Designers are at their best drawing inspiration from all kinds of places, cultures and creators, while people's perspectives are woven by our backgrounds. A product is only worth what it's user feels its worth. I design worthwhile products with a strong product sense and a systematic approach.

I'm curious by so many facets of life and find that my time away is paramount to my creative inspiration. When i'm not designing, you'll find me hosting events, admiring architecture, painting with pixels, playing volleyball, and buying board games.

Welcome to my digital sleeping pod. Thanks for being here :)

My journey map begins w/

an early love of architecture and it's world of form, function and organized beauty. I adore the artform, but made the tough decision to spare my work/life balance from the arch gods temptation. Instead i took a leap into the world of entrepreneurship and the idea of self−creation. After some experimentation with school clubs and a grassroots candle business, I began applying to business schools.

My design spark was reignited after stumbling upon UWaterloo's GBDA program — a one of a kind mashup of creative, technical, and business disciplines. My decision sealed itself after questioning "if I was a CEO would I be more excited to sell or build my product?"

While at UW, my love of design grew exponentially after submerging myself in it's rich world and meeting the most amazing people in communities like Socratica, UW/UX and Arts Student Union.

Design, creative dev, psychology and storytelling allure me. I love picking up intriguing new skills and uncovering creative ways to fuse them all together.

My future is written on blank pages but I can tell I found the right shelf. (‎‎‎‎‎ •̀‎‎‎‎‎ .̫ •́ )✧
