MADE — Edmonton Design Week 2024: Application

Iwona Faferek + Alex DesCôtes

Thanks for the chance to apply to be a part of this year’s Edmonton Design Week.

We’re pitching two heads are better than one. We hope you think it presents as much fun as an opportunity as we do. Iwona and Alex have had the opportunity to team up on creative projects since 2012. We’ve tabled together at the Royal Bison Craft Fair, we’ve worked collaboratively on client brands and design systems and have served as board members together. We’ve always appreciated the bonuses of feedback, communication and critique that come along with working collaboratively. We’d love the chance to work on this year’s theme: CULTIVATE and help bring it to life through a fun team dynamic.

We believe that Iwona’s penchant for modernity and the tangible paired with Alex’s background in user experience and illustrative style would help ensure that each deliverable would be executed to its best. We both have experience leading a successful freelance design practice but jump at the chance to put our heads together and create design solutions that exceed a project brief and hit all required milestones. This is not just a design opportunity, but a chance for us to have fun and push boundaries creating something to give back to the Edmonton design community that cultivated us as budding designers.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Iwona + Alex
