As we enter a brand-new term, the Innovation Hub is excited to welcome our Fall/Winter 2021-22 Team! Each year our team is expanding along with our growing number of partnerships and are pleased to continue designing with and for students at the University of Toronto. In support of our expansion, we are grateful to be transitioning to a new workspace on campus where we plan to follow a hybrid work model to provide flexibility & space for innovation.
Our multidisciplinary team embodies the diverse student community that exists at UofT including undergraduate to graduate-level students with backgrounds in user experience design, anthropology, engineering, biology, sociology, education, and much more. Outside of their degrees, they are a group of lifelong learners, creative thinkers, and change-makers that all share a passion for creating positive social change on UofT campuses. To fulfill our vision of creating an equitable and inclusive campus space for all students, we will continue incorporating our team’s diverse perspectives and identities to understand the needs of students through human-centered design.
