The Student Design Association is a collaborative effort to helps promote you, student designers, within the community. The opportunities that are open to you in The SDA are the ability to create and organize design events, promote yourselves, meet local designers, architects, entrepreneurs, and artists. Most importantly, getting involved in the SDA can create a strong connections with other designers, which is the foundation in forming a strong local design community.
Victories we’ve had:
- Organized Design Shows Through the years of the SDA, we have had 1-2 shows a year in various venues, showcasing student design work to the public. The shows have gotten the attention of the media as well as many people involved in the Edmonton and international design community.
- Developed Partnerships Through hard work, the SDA has created ties with many organizations, including TEDxEdmonton, where we designed and built the set for the presentations. We have also worked with MADE and a host of other groups, bringing student design to the attention of Edmonton.
- Travels Abroad Members of the SDA have participated in international de-
sign and furniture fairs; travelling to Toronto, New York and Italy. - Social Events The SDA has regularly organized chances for design
students to get together outside school and make lifelong friends!
