About Us

YSDN is the joint design program between York University and Sheridan College. We are the final cohort to graduate from the program. We are a diverse group of designers, who worked hard to build our voices and hone our skills and sensibilities to emerge as exceptional and dedicated design professionals.

What is variety

Variety Shop

The program is coming to a close, and we are the final cohort it will produce. We are a diverse group of designers, each with our own voice, skills, and sensibilities which sets us apart. To highlight this variety, each of us is represented by a self-chosen avatar, one object in the metaphorical variety store of YSDN.

Experiences

YSDN allowed for a unique dual campus post-secondary experience, providing a wide range of anecdotes and teachings throughout our time in the program. Not only have we been taught practical design skills and theory to become successful designers, we were also given authentic advice and knowledge to lead us to becoming well rounded creative professionals. We developed as designers and individuals, leaving with abilities that are more specialised than when we started.
