Taha Hossain
Salam, hi, hello.
I’m Taha, Founder and Creative Director at Daybreak Studio, a hybrid practice that blends research, creativity, and technology across mediums. We’ve won a few shiny awards and get to work with great companies. But I’m most proud of the team I've built and our shared pursuit for creative excellence and expression.
Before starting the studio, I designed product experiences at Meta, Palantir, and Konrad. I also freelanced as a Senior Designer with various agencies and startups. This part of my career shaped a lot of my current practice.
I’m a design graduate from York University / Sheridan College (YSDN ’20). I probably should have taken school a little less seriously.
I’m Bengali by inheritance, Canadian by choice, Jeddah born by chance. Toronto is my current home.
I believe reality is wider and more generous than our estimates. And that wonder always outpaces certainty.
I have a lot to learn.
