Design is an act of perspective, and every perspective has limits. Each of us carries unique experiences and these shape how we create. They influence our choices in colour, typography, imagery and iconography and guide the narratives and mediums we gravitate to. In the process of creation, even well-considered decisions can unintentionally limit who feels included or accurately represented. Our inherent bias is a natural part of how we interpret information and make decisions.

The Project-Based Mentorship Program is a twelve-week program designed to help emerging designers fill gaps in their portfolios with projects they haven’t had the opportunity to complete in their school curriculum or professional workplaces. Emerging designers or upper-year student RGDs will develop skills such as project management, giving and receiving feedback and rationale writing. A Certified RGD or senior designer acts as a design leader.
