BIO

Frank Obano is a Toronto-based Industrial Designer currently studying in the Industrial Design program at OCAD University (Toronto, Ontario). He is the founder of seebeyondreality studios where he designs collectible art pieces, homeware products, and clothing apparel for a niche audience.

As a child, Frank was exposed to a wide variety of cartoons well into his late teens, which helped shape his vivid imagination. This influence is why his work doesn’t mimic what one would typically see in the real world. His designs often feature bright colors and wavy lines, drawing heavily from the playful aesthetics of cartoons. Through his work, he aims to create products that stand out with their distinctive shapes while maintaining full functionality for optimal use.

Frank also enjoys photography, with a focus on capturing meaningful moments, whether in everyday spaces or shared with friends and family. He shares his work on Instagram at @altairyxx.

Frank is currently preparing for the first release of his collectible toy, "OSA", which was initially conceptualized in 2022.
