Ghazaleh is a clean technology entrepreneur and multidisciplinary designer. With a background in product design engineering, Ghazal has channeled her passion for sustainability, user experience, and creativity into Shifting Shap3s. Prior to starting Shifting Shap3s, Ghazal co-founded Drastic Plastic, a company that focused on reducing ocean and municipal plastic waste, and also worked alongside the founding team of Precious Plastic Montreal, focusing on upcycling plastic waste on a community level. This all happened after she had worked for approx. a decade for international design and manufacturing companies and clients.  Some of Ghazal's projects have received recognition, including the prestigious Red Dot Design Award. Her focus at Shifting Shap3s is on making it easy and profitable for manufacturers and makers to replace their standard virgin plastic supply with more sustainable alternatives.
