About Community Studios
When you think of design as an industry, experience and wayfinding design may not come to mind first. But once you know about it, you’ll realize that you interact with it almost daily. And that’s how we like it. You may not notice our work, but we’ll get you to where you’re going in a timely and relaxed manner.
We work with a broad range of municipalities, healthcare providers, private industry, developers, architects, interior designers, landscape architects and cultural event organizers to create spaces that are welcoming, informative, and inclusive.
We are passionate about signage, wayfinding, and creating inclusive experiences. We take pride in our process, taking the time to understand your site, and put ourselves in the minds of your end users before starting any strategy and design work. This helps us to create experiences that not only delight visually, but create a welcoming space that makes everyone that visits and uses the space feel safe, included, and informed.
Genevieve Tyack
Our founder, Genevieve, loves signage. Some might say she’s obsessed, even. If you scrolled through her phone’s camera roll you’d find hundreds of photos of new and old signage, and you’ll often find her in local libraries researching.
This love of signage began in Australia, where Genevieve is originally from. She’s since worked with and for several international brands and design firms, before establishing Community Studios in 2021.
This may not come as a surprise when you consider our name, but Genevieve is passionate about community. She loves creating a sense of belonging by connecting people to other like minded individuals, groups, and purpose. This passion comes to life through the many events Genevieve organizes and hosts for local Vancouver groups and international organizations like SEGD.
We work with some amazing clients
What our clients say
”Genevieve is a great person to work with and a total professional. She handled the wayfinding for the Laver Cup's total takeover of Rogers Arena, re-routing our 100k guests on their journey to new clubs and spaces with clarity. Signage was clear and clean. On point. Top of her class. +1.”
Colin Green – Designwerk
”A talented, resourceful and experienced signage and wayfinding designer. Genevieve managed the entire lifecycle of our project, from conception to final installation including liaising with signage suppliers and installers on material selection, logistics, and everything else in between. I am looking forward to working with her on another project.”
