When I was still studying industrial design at the University of Alberta, I was really interested in the process of moulding and casting especially when it came to working with concrete. At the time, I was also an aspiring toy designer. When I started my business in 2022, I wanted to somehow blend my love for toys with concrete and Haha Concrete was born! Although not a toy designer today, I continue to find inspiration in toys, drawing from their interactive nature, style, form, and aesthetics. My ultimate goal as a designer remains consistent: to bring happiness and joy to those who see or use my products, with the aim of creating a strong emotional connection between the product and user!

I experimented a lot with moulding and casting concrete in university. Few years after graduating I decided to start my business venture to do more of what I love!
