I approach design with curiosity and care, transforming ideas into digital experiences that connect with people in meaningful ways.

Hey! I’m Ryan, a product designer with a computer science background, based in Toronto.

I’m passionate about accessibility, AI, and designing with purpose. My work blends technical fluency with curiosity and empathy, I love diving into research, prototyping with emerging tools, and shaping design systems that make experiences more inclusive and intuitive.

Right now, I’m especially focused on how AI can shape the future of accessibility and design. If you’re exploring similar ideas, I’d love to connect: paulryan229@gmail.com

My path as a researcher has been fueled by asking questions and sharing discoveries.

I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Computer Science at the University of Guelph, specializing in HCI and Accessibility. Supported by scholarships, my research and conference papers reflect my commitment to creating technology that is innovative and inclusive.
