Who
we are

Organizing the TEDxStLaurentBlvd event reflects Design Shopp’s core mission to create impactful, meaningful experiences that inspire and connect people. This was more than just an event—it was a fully designed journey of ideas and creativity, crafted entirely by our team. From curating the lineup of 6 inspiring speakers and 2 talented artists to executing a seamless and unforgettable evening, we poured our hearts and expertise into every detail. Knowing that this effort not only inspired hundreds of attendees but will continue to ripple outward through shared ideas is a testament to our dedication to design experiences that make a lasting impact. Doing this on our own, as a team, is something truly special and embodies the spirit of what we stand for.

This is one of Design Shopp’s personal projects: a new docuseries in-the-making, highlighting community heroes, often the ones not seen or heard of, who make a genuine difference in people’s lives. We’re currently working on our pilot episode, recently filmed on the South Side of Chicago.

With the help of some amazing clients and the generous participation of the Alouettes de Montreal, we’ve successfully organized our third annual holiday event with Cloverdale Multi-Ressources in 2022 helping over 150 families! Special thanks to Solpak, Gusti, DNE Resources, Safeblend, Les Amis du Biodôme and many individuals who dedicate their time to this incredible event each year! We’re looking forward to 2023’s growing collaborations!

From speaking to young entrepreneurs at “YES Montreal” to visiting teens at detention centers in the United States, Josef, our president, continues to dedicate his time to speaking to different organizations around the world. His goal is simple: inspire others to become mentors for underserved youth.

Our Vice President, Melissa, and some of our team members frequently deliver professional training sessions and career workshops at institutions and organizations such as John Abbott College and YES Montreal. These sessions are designed to equip future graduates of design, marketing, and web programs with the skills they need to succeed in the job market, excel in interviews, or confidently launch their own businesses or freelance careers. We are also proud to offer mentorship opportunities to organizations seeking to inspire and guide emerging talent.
