Dr. Michiko Maruyama of Edmonton is a master of merging her passions and pushing convention.  Her interest in art and design began at an early age, but her experience as a medical patient at Edmonton’s Cross Cancer Institute changed her life and made her want to be a doctor.  Unable to let go of her desire to be creative, Michiko has found a way to do it all and is now combining medicine and industrial design together.  She hopes to change how we communicate, teach and learn about our health and wellness.
