Interpretive Signs

We write and design custom illustrated interpretive signs that are educational, beautiful, durable, and built to inspire.

 

Create something standard and timeless, or choose a custom-cut design for an organic and unique feel. 

Interactive Signs

Touch, learn, and explore. Our interactive signs engage the senses and spark curiosity, helping folks learn in a hands-on way.

​

Choose between our pre-designed interactive options  for cost efficiency, or dream big and create something  fully custom!

Trail Markers

Simple, durable, and designed to complement your site. We design trail markers as part of our wayfinding strategy development to help visitors navigate spaces. Discrete when they should be, visible when they need to be.

Wayfinding Strategies & Map Design

We develop wayfinding strategy to help visitors navigate spaces in an intuitive yet unobtrusive manner. Our wayfinding strategies include recommendations for where, how, and when to utilize maps, wayfinding makers, and regulatory signage throughout your space.

​

We design custom maps and wayfinding signage that orient and guide guests through your space with clarity and care.

Our Process

Our Process

Every project is different, and that's exactly how we like it. We work closely with our clients to uncover the story you're hoping to tell, and then bring it to life through thoughtful design, clear communication, and a process that keeps you involved every step of the way.

1. Listen & Learn

We begin by getting to know your goals, your audience, and the story you want to share. When possible, we love to meet on site to  see the space and connect in person.

2. Co-Create a Vision

We’ll collaborate on the best way to bring your story forward, whether it be through signs, illustrations, exhibits, or something entirely new. You bring the insight, we bring the ideas!

3. Make a Plan

Once we’ve gathered the pieces, we’ll lay out a clear project plan. This includes what we’re making, how it will look, and how it all fits together.

4. Design in Motion

We roll up our sleeves and get to work. At key points, we’ll share drafts so you can provide input throughout the process.

Walking with Gratitude and Intent

At Fenwood Creative, our work is rooted in place. We share stories of the land across Turtle Island (North America). We honour the deep knowledge and enduring relationships that Indigenous communities hold with the land, water, and all living things. Their stories are inseparable from the places we interpret, and we are committed to uplifting Indigenous voices and centering them in our work. 

​

We are grateful to live, work, play, and raise our families on Treaty 6 Territory (the traditional and current lands of the Cree, Saultaux, Nakota, Sioux, and Dene), the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4, and the unceded traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation. We commit to listening, learning, and walking alongside Indigenous Peoples with respect and humility.
