Support emerging designers by shopping for RGD merch
Order Now: the store is open until November 20, 2026!
We're excited to launch a new online campaign with the sale of RGD-related merch to support emerging designers in Canada, brought to life in collaboration by RGD Members Sheree Stephenson RGD and Matt DeAbreu RGD!
New: the store now includes four DesignThinkers retro tees, with designs from 2009 (Hambly + Woolley), 2012 (City of Mississauga), 2017 (Rethink) and 2018 (Zulu Alpha Kilo). Pick up a piece of DesignThinkers history and support emerging designers at the same time.
Proceeds from the sale of items support RGD programs for emerging designers, including our annual Student Awards, Trailblazer Awards, Mentorship Programs and Virtual Career Weeks.
“I was so happy to be able to collaborate on this project. The print-on-demand format for merch feels like a natural fit for RGD, and I love seeing the organization branch out into new ways of fundraising and connecting with members!”
