About Me
Hello. I'm Ian Murchison, born in Ottawa, Canada, where I currently reside. Design and its complex multi-facets have become the focus of my career. While I currently work as a senior user experience designer, my training comes from the Industrial Design program at Carleton University.
I have a few hobbies. I ride motorcycles, I race drones, I grow hops and I fail horribly at competing against my elderly neighbours' perfectly manicured lawns.

Resume
Come hang out with fellow design enthusiasts
I host a somewhat-bimonthly meet up with designers in the city as a chance to just break away from the computer screen and have some good conversations. I've been doing this for about 8 years now. If you're interested in hosting a chapter just let me know!
