About RNA Studio

RNA Studio was founded in 2001 as a multidisciplinary company offering communication strategy services such as:

website development
identity design
graphic design for print and web
proposal and visual presentation design

Services are offered in the atmosphere of collaboration with the client. The ultimate goal is to identify the essential elements of content in any given project and then to give that content form.

Formal Training
Magda Wojtyra has degrees in Environmental Studies and Architecture from the University of Waterloo, supplemented by courses in photography and pre-press from Ryerson Polytechnic and Ontario College of Art. Prior to founding RNA Studio she worked for architectural firms in Toronto and New York City. Throughout her education and professional training she actively sought out projects that used websites and online tools as integral parts of the design process and design presentation.

RNA Connective
RNA Studio grew out of RNA Connective (1999 to 2000), a multidisciplinary cultural research team affiliated with the McLuhan Centre at the University of Toronto. Magda founded the connective to study issues of communication, community, and social and individual identity in the digital age. The resulting projects ranged from editorial articles for Italian Domus Magazine to group participation in international conferences in the roles of brainstorming consultants.

Cultural Immersion
Continuing in that spirit, members and affiliates of RNA Studio keep up to date on all aspects of best practice through a very wide range of activities. They network online in forums and discussion boards and maintain a variety of online presences. They attend events and network in the world wide world with professionals and enthusiasts in a very eclectic cultural milieu, including artists and designers, educators and scientists, academic researchers and businessmen, journalists and world travelers, language and communication technology experts, ecologists and hackers - the list goes on! Perhaps most importantly, RNA Studio actively participates and pays close attention to the do it yourself culture.

Such a wide range of knowledge and influence is essential to predict cultural and industry development so that designs remain relevant and technologically viable for the longest time span possible.
