Razor Creative

Mentorship
“All I needed was a chance.”

Sometimes a chance comes out of nowhere, like when your hair stylist tells you about a design studio, Razor Creative Solutions, offering co-op placements for high school students like you.

That’s how it began for Bailey Sullivan . She arrived at Razor unsure of her career path: Would it be sports physiotherapy or graphic design? Razor’s creative director and founder, Roberto Carreiro, leveraged her interests by involving her in the social media program for a high-profile youth hockey client and helped her design a personal brand that reflected her passions.

But the story didn’t end there.

Bailey submitted the work she’d done at Razor in a portfolio presentation to Conestoga College and earned early acceptance into their Graphic Design diploma program. And this past spring, as a graduate, she returned to intern at Razor, diving into client projects while picking up more of the hands-on design skills that have been foundational to her academic success.

Today, Bailey is enrolled in Conestoga’s Bachelor of Design program, and her career path is clear.
All she needed was a chance.

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 .

Mentorship
“All he needed was a chance.”

At first, David Eddy didn’t know what to make of the new college intern he’d met that morning. If he was like the others before him, he’d be little more than the company go-fer for a few weeks or months – and that seemed to suit most of them just fine.

But it turned out this new kid was eager to learn and had some chops, a designer in the making who took on challenges with gusto. (Plus, he was also a pretty good ball player, an important attribute since David managed the company softball team.) All he needed was a chance, and David was happy to mentor him.

When the placement ended, David felt a tinge of sadness but knew this kid named Roberto Carriero was going to be a success. What he didn’t know was that they had started on a path that would see them work together collaboratively on hundreds of different projects in different places for the next 29 years.

Today, Roberto is the founder and creative director of Razor Creative Solutions. Razor 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 . Because Roberto hasn’t forgotten the value of mentorship and the importance of being given a chance.
