From here to there.
Connecting people to what matters.
OUR STORY
Cygnus is a strategic design consultancy that helps leading institutions navigate complexity and change. With over four decades of cross-sector expertise, we connect strategy, planning, and design to shape environments that support people and advance organizational goals.
Our Approach
Systems, not signs. Wayfinding is a connected system that is integrated into architecture, operations, and identity and supports change, consistency, and long-term value.
We’re in business to do good. Our commitment to people, planet, and purpose guides how we work, what we support, and the impact we aim to make.
OUR TEAM
The people who make it happen.
We are a team of designers, strategists, and project leaders whose work impacts the everyday lives of people. With studios in Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, and Victoria, we collaborate across regions to bring local insight and the strength of a diverse national team to every project.
