about

Hi! I'm Ashna, a writer, designer, and future engineer from Toronto passionate about intentional product design to create social impact. In the past, I've worked on food sustainability projects ranging from an underwater farming prototype that produces food without land, a yeast plasmid design that produces milk without a cow, to a machine learning model that detects crop disease. I've shared my ideas on stages like WebSummit and the Change Leadership Conference.

When I'm not pushing pixels and tinkering in tech, you can find me cozied up with a good book, learning new musical theatre on the piano, and going on deep introspective walks with my dog Astro.
