Thanks for making it to the bottom! High five! I'm Sola [Sho-Lah], a product designer with a mechatronics engineering coursework and a master's in design from NYU, where I focused on interactivity research and motion design.

My career has been a mix of mobile, web, and multimedia design, with a split of 40% mobile, 40% web, and 20% multimedia projects, including work on OEMs and robotic products at Toyota, where I'm currently based.
