Nabeel is the Chief Executive Officer of Pedesting and a Co-founder in the Pedesting Corporation. In 2017 the Senate recognized Nabeel for his contributions by awarding him The Senate 150th Anniversary Medal for his generosity, dedication and volunteerism in his hometown and community; in 2019 Nabeel was inducted by Avenue Magazine into the Calgary 40 Under 40 club for his accomplishments in his professional life as a proud Calgarian.
Erin is the Chief Creative Officer of the Pedesting Corporation and is Co-Founder in the company, along with his business partner Nabeel Ramji. His passion for accessibility derives from his vocation as an architect and his years-long friendship with Nabeel who has used a wheelchair his entire life.
Erin received his architecture degree from the University of Oregon and apprenticed in New York City with world-renowned architect Aldo Rossi for four years. He has more than 30 years’ experience as an architect, working on projects spanning three continents. Erin spent a dozen years immersing himself in the study of urbanism but it was not until he crossed paths with Nabeel that he realized architecture, for some people, can be a confounding barrier.
With Nabeel, Erin has created an approach to understanding the built environment that has the power to give all pedestrians a clear understanding of the urban landscape and how to navigate safely and quickly through the many man-made barriers. To Erin, the Pedesting app has the potential to help everyone partake in everything that our society has to offer: on the sidewalks, in the parks, at the universities and in the shops.

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
