During my time in architecture school, where hands-on fabrication and material experimentation were central to my education, I began to disassemble small appliances and repurpose salvaged motors, switches, and lights into semi-functional objects. It was through this process that I developed an interest in understanding electronic circuits at a fundamental level.

This led me to the creation of my toy company, OsielToys. The toys I make are educational electronic toys (or tools). Each toy teaches the user about a specific set of fundamental circuits in electronics – all without the use of screens, software, and chips. Designed to spark curiosity through guided, screen-free experimentation, OsielToys offers an intuitive, hands-on entry point into STEM – much like the tactile exploration that first sparked my own passion.
