Emily Lucia Ibañez

I'm Emily Ibanez!

A product designer from the GTA who enjoys strategy, prototyping, making and learning new things.

I believe in design as a tool to empower and bring joy to people and communities that are underserved.

Lately I've been rediscovering ways to reconnect with my latino heritage and creative hobbies (+ moss ball care)

I'm open to Summer 2027 internship & work opportunities!
