Tiny Design Lab is the work of Shawn Kauenhofen, an engineer and designer based in Saskatoon.
I partner with academics to tackle everything from everyday tasks to complex challenges.
Services
Data & Analysis
Turn your raw data into insights. I design analysis pipelines, create clear and impactful visualizations, and mentor teams on tools like Git for version control, ensuring your research and projects are reproducible and easy to maintain.
Research and Technical Support
From programming experiments and tools to meeting with suppliers to solve equipment challenges, I help you keep projects running smoothly. I’m comfortable diving into technical details so you can focus on writing and planning.
Design & Prototyping
Need to bring ideas to life? I provide graphic design, 3D modeling, and rapid prototyping services, helping you visualize concepts and test solutions quickly.
Digital Platforms & Knowledge Mobilization
Whether it's building and managing your website or boosting your online presence through social media, I make sure your digital platforms work for you and your audience.
Administration & Coordination
I improve workflows by managing platforms like SharePoint, coordinating with students, organizing project logistics, and handling expense tracking for financial reporting so teams can stay focused and productive
