Algonquin College student Muhammad Khan has been selected to participate in the World Design Organization’s (WDO) Young Designers Circle. A learner in the Interdisciplinary Studies in Human-Centred Design program, Khan is one of only two Canadians joining 20 young designers from 15 different countries selected for the 2022-2023 program.
