PATINAPATINA Magazine is a print publication and cultural arts organization founded by Dan and Maham Momin in 2023. Curious about the confusion of mixed cultural identities, the magazine works with diasporic artists whose work reinterprets tradition through contemporary lenses/contexts.
Dan's work has been recognized by organizations such as USM Modular Furniture, DesignMiami, and the Royal Ontario Museum. He is a graduate of OCAD University’s Industrial program [2023]. PATINAPATINA Issue 01 can be found in shops around the world.

Designed for the PAVE 2020 Student Design Competition, in which teams were tasked to design a pop-up booth for Michael Kors, under the theme "Jet, Set, Go". Its aerodynamic form takes inspiration from Eero Saarinen's TWA hotel - the entrance tunnel not unlike a boarding bridge or fuselage, lined with mirrors reminiscent of airplane windows.
