What's a Wyanne?

Hello, my name is Wyanne.

I consider the world to be my home and playground. Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, I grew up in Nigeria and returned to Canada for high school in Toronto, Ontario and then university in nearby Kingston. I am currently a grad student in San Francisco. Due to this mildly nomadic upbringing, I love to travel and explore the world for its different cultures and their foods.

I studied mechanical engineering with a specialization in material sciences at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario for my undergraduate degree. While at Queen’s, project design courses were my favourite part of the program so I decided to study industrial design for my masters degree. I also worked for and was the operations manager of the weekly humour paper on campus.

With my technical background, global awareness, and developing artistic skills, I hope to create products that encourage people to engage with the world around them.
