Showcase: Design for Startups Spring 2025
Please join us for a formal showcase of work completed by Emily Carr designers in the Design for Startups program. Each designer will give a five-minute presentation summarizing their 12-week collaboration with the participating Canadian companies.
Design for Startups pairs emerging designers with early to mid-stage startups to work on a specific design problem. Between January and April 2025, ten designers took part in Design for Startups, working directly with the technical and business leads of ten Canadian startups. Supported by Shumka Centre faculty and advisors, the designers conducted design research to help each company create, analyze, or improve its digital products, services, or platforms.
We will hear presentations from the following designers:
Selina Kang paired with Paperplane Therapeutics, Prayag Kalianda paired with The Coaches Site, Chiwu Lin paired with Parkizio Technologies, Ava Clark paired with Maggie’s Farm, Artem Fostach paired with PosiTrace, Ishita Arora paired with Theorema Systems, Sania Siddiqui paired with Tuktu Care, Alisa Trysheva paired with Simply Sweet Games, Nayla Kiandra paired with ThisFish and Melody Chong paired with Eyecare X.
