Jakob Sawatsky

I spent the last four years completing an Honours Bachelor of Interaction Design at Sheridan Institute of Technology. During this time, I worked as an intern designer for a collection of companies such as Bayer, Toolbox Design and Interpix Design. I am an award-winning design contestant, photographer and Chemex user. I speak fluently in both english et aussi en français.

John Mark Comer once said, “What we do flows from who we are”. Similarly, I have come to realize that who I am as a designer is no different from who I am as a person. I am drawn to the complexities of life and all of the things that need creativity and design. I appreciate the word 'design' and its denotation; in Latin, the word means “to choose, designate, appoint or identify” and in Greek, the word means "to make shape”. My philosophy as a designer comes from the root meaning of the word itself. As a designer, I choose to appoint or identify things in life that need shape or form. I strive to think and learn for myself in order to grow, become proficient and bring value to relevant industries.
