Currently completing her Masters of Applied Art in Design at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Jen Sawrenko brings a background in pediatric occupational therapy locally and in rural communities, as well as experience in health research to the Design For Development Society.
 

Jen is passionate about DFD's mandate to promote health locally and globally by encouraging full involvement of people at the community level and building capacity through education, skills training, listening and responding to user feedback.  She is dedicated to sharing knowledge and conducting research to ensure the development of appropriate design solutions. Jen is committed to empowering others to address issues more independently, confidently and with skill through the use of the design process as a problem solving tool. (Oh, and she loves riding bicycles.)
