We are collaborators – with each other and with you

Design for Good started in 2007 when Mark Haak, an Art Director from Toronto, returned from a volunteer experience in Uganda, Africa. While there he witnessed many of the extreme hardships and challenges facing the people and their environments. He met many inspirational people and worked alongside amazing organizations to save and improve lives and protect the land.

His heart told him he had to get involved. He always knew that creativity has enormous power for change and that strategic design can inspire people and get results, and he realized he could use his creative expertise to further increase awareness and raise support for the organizations working to make positive change.

So Design for Good was formed and a team of dedicated collaborators came together to put their hearts and expertise into each and every project to create significant positive change in our world.
