My name is Alexander Burton. I am an industrial design student at the Ontario Collage of Art and Design University in Toronto. I grew up in Vancouver but came to Toronto following a career in contemporary ballet that culminated in Antwerp, Belgium dancing for The Royal Ballet of Flanders. A life long interest in design and its ability to shape human experiences led me to pursue industrial design as a degree with the goal of one day practicing professionally. I am motivated to create designs that are not only beautiful and functional, but that also promote well-being, solve issues and actively participate in important discourses such as low impact living and the changing environment.
