Created in 2016, the Toronto Library Passport is a companion notebook to visiting all 100 branches in Toronto. The Passport was born after I posted mockups of the idea to social media and people started asking where they could get one. Since then, I have sold over 1,000 Passports and the project has been featured in the National Post, CTV News, Mental Floss, BlogTO, and the Atlantic's CityLab. Each Passport sold includes a $3 donation to the Toronto Public Library Foundation.

Company description
Noah Ortmann Design initiates its own creative projects and collaborates with clients.
Why am I an RGD?
The RGD is a centre-point for designers. They help you stand in a more confident position as a designer, especially when you're client-facing. It's valuable to have a trusted source backing you on issues like pricing, ethics and accessibility. The RGD is a great way to stay current in an industry that moves quickly. Attending events like DesignThinkers or watching RGD Webinars are ways I keep inspired and learning.
What is my most memorable RGD moment?
Leading a group of Student/Provisional RGD Members in the Designathon stands out to me. Having the opportunity to lead a group of designers over the course of the day was a unique experience. It was rewarding to see them come together under a very tight deadline to create a brand identity for a real client.
Why am I a designer?
Design is the way I express myself, communicate, problem solve, and help others do the same.
