John Shukin
Owner, creative director
John Shukin has been surrounded by art and design his entire life. From an early age he designed books, original typography, skateboard ramps and concrete forms. Some of his favourite memories are from wandering around museums like the National Gallery in Ottawa and the MOMA in New York. Influenced by an eclectic childhood, John creates broadly across a range of mediums, always seeking to build a strong connection to the people and environment his work lives in.
At the heart of every project is the desire to actively shape design that will 1) Function according to the needs and parameters that will grow and strengthen the community the work is destined for, 2) Celebrate difference and highlight diversity as unique selling propositions, and 3) Create connections between clients, team members, and the places and spaces they cohabit.
