We are a retail, interior, product, and packaging design agency in Guelph serving clients across Ontario
Retail Design + Merchandising
The way we shop has changed, and will continue to change. A retail space is where a brand becomes a physical experience and will directly affect brand perception; with two decades of experience in branded environment and consumer experience design, we know retail!
Store Signage + Graphics
A big part of store design is the graphic element, and more use of graphics in the space can often mean a lower cost store build. We create cohesive in-store signage, way-finding, and graphics that build on the brand, and the consumer experience.
Architectural Design
Whether it’s a retail exterior, custom pylon sign, a modern home addition, or an accessory dwelling unit, it’s in scope of work I do. We’re happy to discuss your project be it commercial or residential.
Way-Finding
People don’t typically notice great way-finding but they certainly notice when it’s bad. It’s a lot more than just signs, it’s a mix of industrial design, graphic design, and strategy. Knowing what people will need to know and putting it at the right place, and at the right scale.
Permitting
If you’re opening a storefront, or renovating an existing location, you might need permits. We provide turn-key services to prepare and file all required documents for your project.
Construction Management
There’s a lot to coordinate; from contractors and trades, to vendors for finishes and fixtures. We do that! We ensure your design is executed on-brand, and on schedule.
Industrial Design
We design products that are optimized for manufacturing and user experience for companies of all sizes. We can offer creative, non-biased solutions to design and production challenges.
Package Design
We live in an age where a lot more thought needs to be put into how we package our goods. We work towards designing packages that leave as little environmental impact as possible on the planet, while still fulfilling the needs of each specific product, and quite often reducing carton size, and freight costs.
Sourcing + Vendors
THE DESIGN INDUSTRY has a large network of local and overseas suppliers and vendors, so when it’s time for fabrication, we can get it done!
