About Us

Hi! My name is Miles Keller, and I'm the president of Dystil Design and Dystil Racing. 

After thirty years in the business, I'm one of Canada’s most highly regarded industrial designer, based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My clients have included Allseating, Corning Glass, Herman Miller, Reevo, Teknion, The Getty Museum, Umbra, and Zenon Environmental. I graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) in industrial design in 1989. I've been on the boards of both the Financial Post Design Effectiveness Awards and the Humane Village international design conference. - and served as president of the Association of Chartered Industrial Designers of Ontario (ACIDO) for four years (1996- 2000). I also taught for several years at both OCADU and George Brown College.

My work has been widely recognized, including the ID Magazine Annual Design Review (1989), the IDEA Awards (1997,2005), the Virtu Canadian Design Awards (1995, 6, 7, 8, 9), the IIdex/ NeoCon Canada Awards (2002), the Best of Canada Design Awards (2002), and the Good Design Award (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005). In 2006 I received a silver IDEA award, as well as a silver Design Exchange Award, for the “ZW1000 municipal water filtration system” by Zenon Environmental. The IDEA awards, sponsored by the Industrial Designers Society of America and BusinessWeek, are recognized as “the world’s most prestigious and coveted design accolade”. Recent awards include a silver Design Exchange Award for MMA equipment made by Reevo in Waterloo, Ontario.

I started racing at Shannonville Motorsport Park about 7 years ago. I currently race a 2018 Ninja 400. While I am really not that fast, I am a huge fan of the sport and over the last few years I've had the priveleage of getting to know some of the best racers in the business. If you're reading this then you already know that the best part of this sport is the people and the race family that you become part of. I consider myself very lucky to have had the chance to be on track with some of the very best. Dystil Racing Products Inc. is a way of combing all my interests into something that can grow. As they say, find something you're passionate about and it’s not really work.

My thirty years of experience as an industrial designer have gone into to the design and manufacturing of some of the best, most innovative race products you can buy. I can guarantee you that the products you see here are designed and made with care and attention to detail to help you be best you can be on the race track.

Let's do this!
