RGD, in partnership with the Rotman School of Management asked Jacknife for a fresh design approach to their Inaugural DesignThinker of the Year Award. The award honours an outstanding corporate leader who has driven business success by utilizing sustained design thinking to problem solve, communicate, and ultimately innovate.

The RGD DesignThinker of the Year Award was created using a collaborative process that engaged 20 multi-disciplinary designers at Jacknife. The team spent 3 weeks exploring the central theme of “visually representing the design thinking process”. The resulting idea reinterpreted a traditional thinking icon, the human skull.
