JOHN LAZARO

Hi! My name is John Lazaro, a recent graduate of the interior design program at OCAD University. I am passionate about interior design, and design in general. Design is such a powerful tool as it can create an impact on someone. I always knew this was the career path for me as I wanted to have a career in creating an impact. Over the past four years here at OCAD, I was able to venture into different areas of design and it allowed me to figure out different approaches to design. As I venture off to further my career as a designer, I will take these experiences and use them in the real world.
