We were so happy to get the call from a dear friend of Meade Design Group, Mrs. Michelle Mulder, when she wanted a new look for her website.
We knew Michelle’s image would have to be fun and kid friendly (she is a children’s author), but maintain a professional look for the teachers and parents that would be using her website for resource materials, or for the professional clients who hire Michelle for manuscript consulting and copy writing.
We created a playful, abstracted version of a bookshelf in primary colours inspired by the series of vertical lettering in her name and continued the concept for the website’s menu.
We’ve posted her logo in our web and identity portfolios, but definitely check her website out for yourself at: http://www.michellemulder.com/

We are happy to spread the word that our studio was recently featured in a great design magazine – but not the kind we’re usually featured in…
For the May/June issue of DesignEdge – a leading Canadian magazine for Graphic Design, they wanted to tour some of the most beautiful, interesting and functional graphic design studios, and what better firm to feature than Meade Design Group? With us being a graphic and interior design studio we think we made for a pretty good entry in the issue!
The issue is out now, so be sure to check it out for a little something different for us – a new angle on our downtown Victoria studio!

Creative Director Chanone Smith oozes class and sophistication in everything she does. Of course, she needed a fashion forward identity and stationery package to reflect that.
Inspired by fashion institutions, this has to be one of our favourite print jobs yet. The simple yet bold ‘C’ mark with the missing fragment is memorable and elegant. Her wordmark is no different, and places emphasis on the ‘Chanone’ to encourage clients to call her by her first name. An organic, animal print inspired pattern creates visual texture and interest against the main, crisp white background linking the stationery pieces together and adding another level of detail to her package. Custom stickers to seal the envelopes, metallic foils and a velvety laminated finish add tactile impressions to this stunning identity.
Please visit the identity and print galleries of our website to see the complete project.

Michelle is a fellow designer that we already knew and loved, so when she approached us to design a new identity for her including logo, stationery, social media and website, we were thrilled.
Embracing Michelle’s personality and aesthetic, we created an identity that was warm, modern and clean – yet natural. Michelle Morelan Design is known for it’s West Coast Contemporary and nature-inspired interiors, as well as stunning renderings. The reflected ‘Double M’ used in her mark has been well received as both a bold, modern statement, and as evoking the natural reflections in the lakes and oceans Michelle experienced throughout her life living on the West Coast. This mark lends itself prefectly to creating gemoetric patterns and coupled with the taupes and charcoals we chose, fits Michelle’s style perfectly.

Another reason Meade Design Group is considered the ‘Designer to the Designers’: We have recently completed Vancouver and Victoria-based interior design firm, TD Swansburg’s website. We worked closely with founder and principal designer, Teresa Ryback on revamping her online presence to suit her aesthetic.
The addition of a brand new style of menu, soft gradients, subtle animations, and tons of content allowed TD Swansburg to showcase their designs in a whole new way. And the best part? The website was built using a content management system, so Teresa is able to edit and update the website text and photographs herself – including the integrated mini-blog ‘Chronicles’
