Josh Lingal
Junior Designer, B. Env. D. (Interior Environments)
Josh graduated from the University of Manitoba in 2020 with a Bachelor of Environmental Design with a focus in Interior Environments. His relationship with S3 formed as he sought out a dynamic workplace experience with opportunities to work on both residential and commercial projects.
At a young age, Josh’s passion for design emerged and began in a sketchbook with imaginary characters and their environments. This childhood hobby gradually translated to his interest in architecture and people-oriented design. Josh believes the built environment should not only be functional, context-sensitive, and aesthetic, but also evoke emotional and psychological qualities that further enhance the user experience.
Outside of design work, Josh enjoys doing digital art, and making drawings and animation. Being a homebody, he also loves to watch horror movies with his family and hangout with his dog, Bella.
