Mesfun Y Haile of MYDSGN emigrated from Africa at the age of 15, having been educated in three countries thus far, his quest for both informal and formal education has afforded me all that Canada has to offer. 

As a graduate of the University of Toronto (BSc) followed by a Masters in Landscape Architecture from the Landscape Architecture and Urban Design School. His Masters (MLA) focused on Social design and its impact on democratization of people and places. His post graduate work was realized in the design of urban renewal projects in post war Eritrea.

As a connoisseur for creative design driven by social responsibility, Mesfun has had success as a socialprenuer from both his past and current business and social enterprise initiatives alike.
