I see brand identity as the sum of every touchpoint a business puts into the world.

I’m Alexandra MacIsaac, a designer and creative director with over 20 years of experience in design.

My approach is guided by the belief that good design should be both artful and purposeful. It should be visually compelling, but also clear, useful, and built to work across real-world applications.

To me, the visual expression of a brand goes far beyond a logo. It’s shaped by its website, marketing materials, packaging, presentations, and other pieces a business uses to communicate and present itself. That’s why brand identity is at the heart of my work. I help clients move beyond a logo and into a more complete visual system, with typography, colour, imagery, layout, and guidelines that make their brand easier to recognize, apply, and grow across websites, marketing materials, and other touchpoints.

After studying Visual Communications at the Alberta College of Art and Design, I built a career across brand identity, marketing design, and creative direction. Today, my work brings that experience together: the eye of a designer, the thinking of a creative director, and the care to make each piece work as part of a larger whole.

Since 2008, I’ve kept my studio small by design, which means you work directly with me from the first conversation through to the final details. I work especially well with established businesses and organizations that have a clear sense of where they want to go, but need a stronger, more cohesive visual presence to help get them there.

I lead the creative direction, keep the process organized, and work closely with each client to understand what the design needs to achieve, not just how it should look. When a project calls for it, I bring in trusted creative collaborators  o ensure each project is handled with the expertise it deserves.

I stay involved at every step, ensuring the work is carefully executed and stays true to the initial direction.

Outside the Studio

When I’m not working, I’m usually outdoors or painting, either in my studio or on location in the mountains. I live in Cochrane, Alberta, with the Canadian Rockies nearby for both inspiration and adventure. I love mountain biking, snowboarding, and hiking with my camera, my husband, and my dog.
