Razor Creative

Mentorship
“All I needed was a chance.”

New country. New school. New culture.
For Zeal Mehta, a design student at George Brown College in Toronto, her first year in Canada was dizzying. And then Covid hit: Suddenly, everything went remote – including her classes and a new internship at Razor Creative Solutions. She wasn’t sure what to expect.

But amidst the chaos, Zeal’s days with Razor were a welcome bit of stability. She quickly settled into the studio’s rhythm, even though all the interactions had to be online via Google Chat and Google Meet. Roberto Carreiro and the Razor team introduced her to concepts like design management and had her work with new design tools on actual client projects. The best part came when a client chose Zeal’s design concept for one of their largest public events.

A few months after her internship, with her George Brown diploma in hand and her experience at Razor fresh on her resume, Zeal landed a full-time job as a UI/UX designer with one of the world’s largest video game publishers.
All she needed was a chance and she ran with it!

Razor Creative Solutions welcomes design students with co-op placements and internships, and is an active supporter of youth mentoring through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel | York .

What is the colour of tranquility and peace?

For the people at the Pantone Color Institute, it’s Pantone 11-4201. Otherwise known as Cloud Dancer, this “billowy white imbued with serenity” is the Pantone Color of the Year 2026.

Hmm, white? Seems a little bland for Color of the Year.But then we started thinking about it and Cloud Dancer made perfect sense.

After the year we’ve had, with all the troubles and clashes and turmoil that threaten to tear us apart, Cloud Dancer may be the colour the world needs right now. Pantone calls it “a whisper of tranquility and peace in a noisy world.”Amen to that.

✨ Highlight of Day 01 : meeting the incredible creative trio Alfredo, Bruno & Marcello from .co 🙌

Their presentation was everything a great talk should be — clever, authentic, creative, and funny. After a long day, they still had the room fully engaged (no small feat 👏).

🔥 They bring a whole new meaning to hot creative from Costa Rica, and I’m so glad they made the trip to Toronto to share their brilliance.

Day 01. That’s a wrap. ✅
