Congratulations to Joyce Chan (IDEA Grad 2022) for gaining the 2021 RGD UX Design Award Honourable Mention with 'Cordia'.
“Cordia is a tablet app that keeps seniors with dementia happily engaged through rewarding and stress-free reminiscing activities. As an app intended to be used along with a caregiver, the product takes a unique approach to care giving similar to art therapy in hopes to improve the short-term and long-term mental state of seniors with dementia.” writes Joyce.

About The RGD
Through the Association of Registered Graphic Designers (the RGD), Canadian designers exchange ideas, educate and inspire, set professional standards and build a strong, supportive community dedicated to advocating for the value of design.
Representing over 4,100 design professionals, including firm owners, freelancers, managers, educators and students, the RGD was created in 1996 by an Act of the Ontario Legislature (Bill Pr 56) and is the only graphic design association in North America to have this type of legislation.
The Certified RGD designation is a signal of quality and competence to the profession, public and government. Successful candidates have met a rigorous set of standards that includes documented levels of relevant, professional education and experience as well as competence in the areas of business, design principles, research, accessible design and ethics demonstrated through the successful completion of the RGD’s certification process.
Our vision is for a graphic design profession that is broadly valued for its contribution to life, commerce and society.
