☺ About me
Hello again! My name is Dion Lewis. I’m a digital product designer based in Toronto, and a recent CMU Design graduate with a Bachelor's in Design and a minor in Social and Political History. I believe at it's best, digital infrastructure can help us explore widely, learn freely, draw closer to one another, and feel deeply.
