CLAIRE GUIOT

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 Cumberland Museum and Archives. 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.
