Design for Startups Initiative

Design for Startups is a project led by Emily Carr University of Art + Design. It aims to connect individual designers from the university with a tech startup to develop applied solutions to a product design problem. Currently, the number of female web designers and developers in B.C. sits at 31% compared to the national average of 48%. By leveraging Emily Carr’s diversity, where more than 70% of participants in entrepreneurship programs are women with design backgrounds, this project will develop improved products, platforms, and services for startups.
