AWARDS & ACCREDITATIONS
OVER 50 YEARS OF COMBINED GRAPHIC DESIGN & BRAND DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE!
n. design was founded by award winning creative director Norm Jolin in 2007 after a successful career working in the Toronto design scene for his first 15+ years. When n. design first started, almost every client was a Toronto based business since that is where Norm’s network was established – but after ten years of networking and building relationships within the Durham business community, many of the clients n. design works with today are Durham based companies. With that said, n. design is not limited to only Durham or Toronto based companies. We are an international company when it comes to building great brands and websites for our clients. Because of the advancements in technology, we don’t have to be in the same city as our clients which is why we have had the opportunity to work with businesses throughout Canada and the United States! We also work internationally with clients outside of North America!
