Industrial Design
“Design is how I live! with empathy, curiosity, and care, I'm shaping thoughtful solutions that bring comfort to everyday life.”

I am Sahar Niekou, an industrial designer based in Toronto and a recent graduate from OCAD University.I believe in making the world a little better through design—whether by creating thoughtful products or reimagining everyday services. My work is grounded in empathy, care, and curiosity, with a special focus on people's health and well-being. Design, to me, is a way to listen, connect, and respond to real human needs with intention and beauty.Looking ahead, I hope to continue designing inclusive, meaningful experiences that support well-being and spark positive change in everyday life.
