Wesley Lyn
Product design, art direction, and branding in Toronto.
I work across product design, art direction, and branding — from the first sketch of a system to the thing people actually use. Short timelines don't rattle the work; I stay with an idea from concept through production.
I like original thinking, and I like getting people on board. An A-type personality with just the right amount of B. Lofty ideas become attainable, unexpected solutions — then we make them real.
Most importantly, I enjoy making it happen. The execution of the idea. The 99 percent.
I like to cycle (especially 15% gradients), train Muay Thai, surf, make documentaries, take the sun, hear live jazz on a patio, and protect white space.
Have a product, a brand, or a direction that needs a hand? Say hello.
From people I've worked with
“Wesley managed our company's brand, as well as our website and print marketing for the club. His work was extremely creative, and the end results were always above expectations. Always easy to get a hold of, and work was done quickly and effectively. Whatever project we had on the go, Wesley seemed to take our vision to the next level.”
“My wife and I hired Wesley for a design project involving 50 printed pieces. Not only was Wesley able to come up with an innovative and creative storybook design for the project, he managed to meet a tight 3-week deadline which we imposed on him. The final product exceeded our expectations and we look forward to engaging Wesley again for future projects.”
“Wesley was always a pleasure to work with on any project. His attention to detail, creative design and warm smile always made my projects and job much easier. Wesley would be a wonderful asset to any organization.”
“Wesley's talent as a designer — both online and in print — was instantly obvious, as he expertly moulded rough conceptual ideas into polished works of beauty. In addition to his skill, Wesley is a joy to work with: easygoing, communicative and timely.”
“Wesley has been an integral part of the success of the 411 Initiative through his years of contributions to the organization's branding, materials and programming. He has always brought fresh and innovative ideas to the table.”
