Govind

I like knowing how things actually work.

So far that has meant a freight railway, an exhibition six thousand people walked through, and the gap between what founders say and what investors hear.

Design is how I go about it. Most of what I do starts as a question and ends as something built, with a lot of talking and drawing in between.

Outside that, I cook, bike, and paint. Usually in Toronto.

Curious about how people, systems, and ideas fit together. If you are too, message me or find me on LinkedIn.

Observer by nature

Some of it has been commissioned for homes and offices. The rest are my versions of paintings I liked.

Working it out by hand

I've been drawing since I was a kid, across whatever medium was around. It never became the job, but it became how I think.

Now the same habit goes into tracing a causal chain or mapping how a service actually works. What comes out might be a screen, a roadmap, or just a clearer way of seeing what was already there.
