Jackie Temkin Named a GDUSA 2026 Responsible Designer

We're honored to share that our founder, Jackie Temkin, has been named a 2026 Responsible Designer by GDUSA.

This annual recognition celebrates creative professionals who use their talents, skills, and design principles to make a positive impact on people and the planet. GDUSA says,

In 2026, designing for good is no longer the exception — it’s part of the core fabric of the profession. Sponsored by DOMTAR, this annual feature recognizes creative professionals who are embracing responsibility as to how, when, why and for whom they work — using design principles, talents and skills to make the world a better place for people and nature. Some argue that we are experiencing a cultural ’vibe shift’ making people of good will tired, skeptical, pessimistic, even cynical. The individuals profiled below stand tall, push back, and use their abilities to make the world and nature a better place as they see it. And, together, they provide a welcome reminder that graphic designers can — and will — make themselves heard over the noise.

We believe design is about more than how something looks. It's about how we think, the choices we make, the people we serve, and the impact we leave behind. We're proud to be part of a creative community using design to make a difference.
