Jacky Ho

A practice rooted in exploration.

I am a Toronto-based project manager, multidisciplinary designer, and educator with experience leading projects across product development, creative technology, wearable innovation, visual design, and higher education. My career has moved through several disciplines, but the connecting thread has remained consistent: I bring people, ideas, technology, and creative execution together to turn complex concepts into tangible outcomes.

Through Westside Union, I have led multidisciplinary initiatives involving product strategy, digital experiences, AI-enabled business tools, branding, research, client communication, and project delivery. Earlier, I founded Bio Union, a wearable-technology venture that combined textile engineering, physiological sensing, hardware, software, and healthcare innovation.

As an educator, I have taught university- and college-level design courses, translating technical and creative subjects into practical learning experiences. Teaching has strengthened the same capabilities I bring to project leadership: communication, planning, mentoring, stakeholder alignment, problem-solving, and adapting to different audiences.
