Born and raised in Toronto, Eddie enjoyed having the creative freedoms that art allowed. Through high school, he had a special interest in both Sciences as well as Art through the Enriched Art program at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School. Eddie pursued a degree in Kinesiology and Visual Arts at the University of Western Ontario and furthered his education by acquiring another degree in Industrial Design at Humber College.

Upon graduating with an Honours Bachelor of Industrial Design, Eddie was hired to design protective garments for the equestrian and rodeo industry. His designs and contributions led to his first US Patent for a protective calf collar to be used in calf roping in rodeo competitions. Eddie eventually moved from soft goods design to working in the Point-of-Sale industry to design security mounting solutions for payment devices, as well as improving ergonomic function for both the retailer and consumer. Currently, Eddie’s designs are implemented across Canada on a national level in most major retailers as well as the fast food and lottery industry.

With a passionate hobby in audio and the ability to contribute to design and manufacturing, Eddie was awarded with a US and a Canadian Patent for a unique way of integrating a sound system onto a jet ski by essentially turning the recreational vehicle into a speaker.

Through the years, he has had the opportunity to mentor young designers and help them pursue successful careers. Eddie understands the importance of building a solid academic foundation with art so children can approach problems with a creative and open mind. The ability to explore the limits of creativity are priceless.
