Susan Ozipko acquired her design degree at Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto. The design program focused on colour theory, conceptual and spatial development, and human centered design. She started her design career working under direction from some prominent Ottawa interior designers. Her keen sense of design was developed from the knowledge and design principles that she gained during these years.
As a designer I feel that it is my responsibility to design around people needs. Everything I put out there as a designer has the ability to change and effect people. This is why I find human centered design so fascinating. It is about people’s real life activities and objectives needing to be understood so that we can create design solutions that are useable, effortlessly learned, intuitive, and enjoyable. It is about fulfilling the human need.
