Vancouver Service Jam 2026 brought out the best of Vancouver’s design community

On March 13–15, 2026, OXD’s Manager of UX and Service Design, Deb MacKenzie, joined designers, researchers, and problem-solvers at the Vancouver Service Jam—one of the local events in a global weekend of creative collaboration. Teams worked through an entire design process in just 48 hours, moving from a shared theme to tangible prototypes for real-world challenges.

The energy in the room reflected what makes Service Jam worth supporting year after year: people from different disciplines and working styles coming together, trying new approaches, and building things that may become real solutions in the near future.

We thank the organizers of our local Jam, Service Design BC and Vancouver Design Community, for another well-run event and for the opportunity to be a returning sponsor.
