Summary
Daniel Deschenes is a creative technologist and entrepreneur who transitioned from a long sales career in enterprise IT to founding D2lab, where he designs and sells original concrete home décor across North America. With roots as a Java developer since 1997 and over six years building his maker business, he blends hands-on CAD and 3D-printing skills with pragmatic productization—creating silicone molds and refining concrete recipes for repeatable production. His background selling cloud and ERP solutions at companies like IBM and Syntax gives him a rare combination of technical literacy, customer-facing sales acumen, and operational discipline. Based in Sutton, Quebec, he leverages marketplace channels (d2lab.etsy.com) to scale artisanal manufacturing beyond a hobbyist practice. Notably, he applies software-oriented problem solving to physical product design, turning prototyping workflows into a small-scale manufacturing pipeline.
