Agata Jaworska
Interior Design ’02
As a student, Agata Jaworska won the design competition for the official Ryerson Chair, which serves as a gift to benefactors of the University. Her design went on to win Canadian Interiors magazine’s Best of Canada Design Competition in 2003. A few years later, as part of her Masters studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands, she produced a thesis project she called ‘Made in Transit’ — a packaging prototype allowing vegetables to grow during shipping and be harvested by the consumer just before eating. Her creation was named among TIME magazine’s 50 Best Inventions of 2008, and was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Now based in Amsterdam, Ms. Jaworska works for the conceptual design company Droog.
Growing up I always had a difficult time choosing between art or science because I had strength in both. So, that’s sort of why I decided to think about architecture or interior design.
