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.
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 believe reality is wider and more generous than our estimates. And that wonder always outpaces certainty.
I have a lot to learn.
