Prior to her new venture, Shauna co-founded IDS Toronto, North America’s largest design fair, The Yoga Conference, and Expo for Design, Innovation and Technology (EDIT), in addition to being the former President and CEO of Design Exchange in Toronto. During her time at the helm of Design Exchange (DX), Shauna partnered with international organizations including the United Nations Development Programme, governments and global brands. She has directed exhibits featuring Canadian and international designers and celebrated personalities, among them Pharrell Williams, Christian Louboutin, David Suzuki and Bruce Mau.
