Claire Guiot is a creative leader, designer and educator who believes good design starts with people, not technology. For over 25 years she has helped organizations turn complex ideas into meaningful experiences, working across websites, digital products and print design in agency, freelance and institutional settings. Her projects range from branding and marketing strategies for Indigenous tourism organizations to interactive storytelling for the Museums. Born in Paris to British and French parents, she has lived on Vancouver Island, in K’ómoks First Nation territory, since 2006. She has taught design and development at North Island College for the last 8 years, and she is currently a student in Royal Roads’ MA in Learning and Technology. Off the clock, she designs sets for community theatre, walks the woods, raises children, and is continually designing/making something new. She’s happiest where visuals, strategy, systems and many ways of thinking meet.
All Marks Welcome: A Collective Data Portrait of Creative Changemaking
What should the new Eric C. Douglass Centre for Creative Changemaking look and feel like? Help shape the answer in this playful, hands-on session. Using colour, shapes, marks, and a simple visual language anyone can use, you’ll create a hand-made data postcard—a small visual portrait of your experience, values, and hopes for creative changemaking. We’ll bring everyone’s postcards together to look for patterns, connections, contradictions, and surprises. Together, we’ll create a visual portrait of this community and explore what it might tell us about the character and branding of the new Centre.
Your postcard is yours to take home. The collective insights will be shared with the Centre to help guide its next steps.
No artistic skill required. All marks welcome.
