Founder | Mechanical-Robotics Engineer | Visual ArtistAcrylic Robotics is building technology to bring the best of digital and AI-generated art into the physical world.  Our AI algorithms and painting robots transform any image, prompt or digital file into a beautiful painting in an artist’s brushstroke style, made with real paint on canvas. Artists get consent, credit and compensation -- every time. 10x better than photo prints, more affordable than gallery art and brought to life beyond a screen like NFTs never were, Acrylic is building a new product category that will disrupt the photo print market across hospitality, print on demand and home decor and hit the untapped sweet spot in price to quality ratio for everyday consumers. I'm an artist turned robotics engineer who believes that art should be valued because it's good, not just because it's rare. I founded Acrylic to make the world a more beautiful place by democratizing access to good art while supporting the independent artists who make it. I started my first business at 9 and made $15,000 for charity by age 13; sold my first painting at 14 and curated my first art exhibit at 18; built my first painting robot at 20; and then founded Acrylic at 21, midway through the second year of my engineering degree at McGill University. I'm passionate about the future of AI, robotics and creativity, and I've given talks to thousands on stages from Montreal to Lisbon to San Francisco on subjects like the definition of creativity, AI & robot ethics, collaborative robots, intersection of art & technology, strategies for growing a team, and how to kickstart and support female & minority entrepreneurs. PM for speaking opportunities.I've been named Next Canada's "Top Entrepreneur", the US Consulate of Montreal's "Top Woman in Tech for Good", C2's Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year, Pierre Peladeau's "Top 5 Entrepreneurs", and Acrylic has won Centech's "Top Tech Innovation Prize" and GRIT's "Top 10 Canadian Startups to Watch", among other accolades.
