Vida, a graduate of both Emily Carr and Capilano University, is a hands-on designer and founding partner of Hangar 18. She has sat on numerous design competition juries and panels. In her spare time she plays mandolin and performs in a Morris dance troupe, an artform which involves sticks, ribbons, bells and hankies. When not lecturing Dean, she lectures and mentors design students at the Idea School of Design at Capilano University.

Dean, a graduate of Arts Centre in Pasadena USA, has led hundreds of campaigns for regional, national and (likely) galactic clients. He has held several senior creative positions including Creative Director of TBWA/Vancouver. With dozens of industry awards, he’s a well-travelled creative leader, Sci-Fi nerd and master of strategic brand positioning.

As a BCIT BBA graduate with a background in fashion design, Lyndsey combines business strategy with a keen eye for detail and aesthetics. She ensures creative projects align with client goals, thriving at the intersection of creativity and business. Always looking beyond aesthetics, she drives conceptual, purposeful solutions that deliver results.

While the partners are hands-on creatively, each client and problem requires its own unique solution. We at Hangar 18 Design Continuum maintain strong relationships and partnerships with writers, web developers, photographers, illustrators, videographers and printers. Vida and Dean have built up an extensive resource pool from which they can choose the perfect team to bring your project to life. Along with our dynamic crew of print and digital designers, they will give your project the care and attention that will make it stand out from its competitors.
