We were thrilled to work with Michelle Annette Kelava-Juszczyk on her unique business, Pacific Post Imports. A pop-up shop which brings in one-of-a-kind finds from all over the world, curated by Michelle herself who has been in the design industry for over 20 years. We’ll be adding Pacific Post’s print work soon, but in the meantime you can satiate your curiosity by checking out the website for yourself at: www.pacificpostimports.com!
In the end, we think the project as a whole reflects Pacific Post beautifully. A serene West-Coast inspired colour palette with an abundance of nautical references to help visitors imagine the travels these pieces have been on. From a technical perspective, this site works great for the business as well. It is CMS, meaning Michelle is able to update and manage the site herself with ease – very important in a business like hers since inventory can change daily.
Check out Pacific Post today, we can’t wait to see where they pop up next!

Meade Design Group’s interiors shall live on forever in hard cover form!!! We just got the book entitled Zen Style Residences where our interior design project “Marifield” appears within their glossy pages.
For this project, we wanted to achieve a look that was effortless yet sleek, refined, warm and comfortable. We combined rich tones of sepia, burnt orange and charcoal in a range of textures and patterns to form a warmly layered, lived-in-ambiance. The custom designed fireplace emphasizes the height and creates an interesting focal point, counter-balanced by the commissioned art piece hung above the sofa.
It is so cool to see our designs published in a book with information written in two languages – and it’s a beautiful book at that! To see more of this project, check out the article on our media page!

How cool is it that we were able to help one of our favourite stores re-brand themselves? We were thrilled to get the call from Ross Taylor, owner of Gabriel Ross, to help him create a new image/site for his online store, now known as GR Shop. Check out the website for yourself at: http://grshop.com/!
One of the most important factors in this project was maintaining a recognizeable connection to the old image, since Gabriel Ross has a large client base spread across the country. The other key element was the navigation. There is a lot of information on this site on a lot of different product types, so it was important to maintain consistency in how to access and display this information, as well as explore the entire site with ease – there’s more than just products for sale here, there’s a blog, and the ability to create wish lists and gift registries. With all that in mind, we also had to consider that this was also an e-commerce and content management site – which made the programming far more in depth.

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!
