The Work We Do

Brand Positioning & Identity Design

Brands fall short because they stop at the surface — logos, taglines, campaigns. We go deeper, aligning your business around a "big idea". Defining what you do best, creating your brand system, and bringing it to life through smart, strategic design is our superpower. Whether you are launching a new company with a blank slate, or a growing organization in need of a brand transformation, we'll work together to build an enduring brand that supports where you want to go.

Web Design & Online Presence

A website built with clarity and purpose is your most powerful tool. As an extension of your brand, it should make it obvious who you are, what your superpower is, and why your clients should care. It's an opportunity to demonstrate your brand in action. A chance to show your audience how you can support them in achieving their goals. It's an invitation to connect.

If your website no longer aligns with the quality of work you do — or where your organization wants to go next — it's time to create one that will move you forward.

Let's sharpen your website

Larry Sparks

Founder and CXO | The Confluence Group

I've worked with Alison on a lot of projects, across a lot of industries, clients and timescale. Private sector, non-profit and local government.

She's always been a stand out in terms of her ability to do an outstanding job with minimal guidance. She's a consummate pro, has the gift of design and a keen intellect linking it to the communication requirements and the organization's long term horizon.

In short, Alison continues to be an incredible asset to the Confluence Group and the clients we work with.

Sarah Gray

Communications Coordinator | District of Tofino

Working with Alison was a complete breeze. Her creativity, passion and professionalism made a daunting project enjoyable. Every element included on the website was carefully thought through and intentionally chosen to ensure the best user experience possible. Alison provided essential guidance and knowledge throughout the process that created an outcome that we couldn't be happier with. We would jump at the opportunity to work with Alison again.

Peter Weeber

GM | Peter Brothers Construction Ltd.

I’ve worked with Alison Harwood on several creative projects, most notably, the development of the District of Mackenzie’s community brand. The large-scale undertaking involved engaging all levels of community stakeholders, as well as District staff.

Alison successfully combined market research, stakeholder input, and her expertise as a strategic communicator to deliver a strong, compelling brand story for Mackenzie. Her warm and relatable public speaking style was certainly an asset to the process and the outstanding final product. She was professional and easy to work with, and I look forward to working with her again.

Caroline King

Principal | Vitae Health & Sport

When we decided to open an integrated health clinic, we reached out to Alison to create our logo and branding guidelines. We were a bit directionless graphically, but Ali listened to our thoughts and masterfully created an excellent brand that exemplifies our vision. The work she delivered for us is top-notch - professional and timeless.

Drew Brayshaw

Principal | Statu Environmental Consulting

Alison was recommended to us by a knowledgeable source. We had some highly specific ideas for our startup's logo and mission statement but no idea how to make those ideas into a finished product. Alison took those ideas, prompted us to look a little deeper at some of our concepts about our business, and made the results work with an amazing logo, a great website, and a presentation that took all our ideas and made it look professional while retaining our core vision. She clearly knows what she's doing and I'd recommend her to anyone.

Michael Dalzell

Board of Directors (2010) | Tourism Golden

I have worked with Alison Harwood in several different capacities over the years and she has always impressed me. Most recently, as Board Member with Tourism Golden, we hired Ali as a consultant to help provide support and strategic direction. Alison was a huge asset to the organization and really helped us get on track when we were in a bind. She is professional, organized, thinks strategically and is effectively able to design and implement strong marketing programs in the DMO setting.

John Fortoloczky

CAO | District of Hope

Ali consulted on the Hope, BC branding project. She proved invaluable to both the Branding Committee but also the community-at-large for the excellent results produced. She undertook considerable research, consulted with other branding specialists and arranged public stakeholder consultations. Ali was energetic and creative throughout the project.
