About

Jonny Hehr is currently studying his Master’s of Architecture at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada.  In the past few years he has taken a dynamic shift in life to pursue his passion, design.  Out of grade school he studied as an aircraft maintenance engineer and went on to work as an engineer for 5 years on aircraft and formula atlantic racecars.  During this time he realized the technical expertise was exciting but lacked in creative expression.  He uprooted his life and moved to pursue his undergraduate degree of Industrial Design at Emily Carr University of Art and Design.  Some of his personal design highlights have been developing the Enabling (D1) project, exhibiting the Pine Beetle Bricks (D5) at the “Souvenir Shop” curated by Motherbrand, and becoming a shortlist-finalist with Sombra (D2) for Bernhardt Design’s ICFF Studio.  Recently he was a winner of Avenue's Design Inside the Box Competition 2010, was shortlisted for the Architecture for Humanity Design Like you Give a Damn 2, and is working with the University of California Davis on the implementation of the compost logo into their campus compost program . He has intentions of becoming a practicing professional architect/designer upon completion of his master’s in 2011.
