Culturally Representative Design Solutions

The lack of representation and inclusion in higher education (Colleges, Universities, and Continuing Education) communications can cause a disconnect between institutions and the communities they want to serve. Visuals that resonate with people across the glorious human spectrum of abilities, ambitions, cultures, genders, and learning styles are the answer.

Increasing engagement and participation rates among students and faculty

Awards and Accolades that Set Us Apart

Jennifer Haskett, Director of Operations, Marketing & Communications, CBC

We engaged with Design de Plume to design and support our brand package for the National Indigenous History Month in 2022. The timelines were tight and the task was large: to create an inclusive design for a cross-country campaign, spanning all platforms. Not only did they deliver a beautiful package, they spent time socializing it and the meaning behind each element throughout our marketing, design and Indigenous hub teams.

Our creative solutions translate into improved community engagement, enhanced connections, and improved participation rates.
