Bill Shorten

I grew up in a small Southern Ontario farming community chasing foxes and pheasants, pondering the vastness of the universe, and marveling at human flight. As a creator and explorer since childhood, I am inspired by the latest innovations in science and technology and have an innate love of art and architecture.

Through mindfulness, I am continually striving to live in the present moment. Bringing this same creative focus into the entrepreneurial world, I launched Polykraft, a company specializing in 3D architectural (archviz) and technical (techviz) visualization.
