Meghan Hellstern « Connected Canada

I am dedicated to reimagining the relationship between organizations and their clients through the lens of collaboration, design and technology. Right now, I’m doing that by working with national civic tech non-profit Code for Canada as their Education and Community Program Manager as well as through a number of exciting independent consulting projects. As a specialist in digital strategy, communications and human-centered design, I have more than eight years of experience helping organizations better understand, serve and collaborate with their stakeholders.

In addition to co-founding Civic Tech Toronto and leading Canada’s first Civic Design Camp in Toronto, my professional experience includes working in a variety of roles with organizations like Veterans Affairs Canada, MaRS Solutions Lab, Ryerson University’s Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship and Samara Canada.
