About the client
My name is Tia, I’m a registered sports massage therapist based in Montreal. I’m really passionate about helping active people feel and move better through massage therapy. I feel like I have always had good problem solving skills which I believe not only led me to this career path but has helped me identify another solvable problem in my field. While I don’t come from an engineering background, I’m highly observant, detail-oriented, and deeply invested in creating products that genuinely improve the user experience. I value partnership with experts and approach product development with curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to learn. My goal is not simply to create a product, but to develop a functional, manufacturable solution that addresses a real-world need.
