ABOUT

TALIA
HALAWI

Born in Lebanon, raised in Ghana, and now based in Montréal, my multicultural background has shaped how I see the world and approach design. Moving between cultures has taught me to observe, adapt and question the familiar, inspiring my passion for creating thoughtful human centered products.
