Common Foundry is an award-winning boutique creative studio in Nanaimo, BC run by graphic designer Cory Landels. With a focus on branding, packaging, web design and editorial work we have developed a reputation for delivering quality projects for a diverse range of clients, with a focus on work that promotes community development, arts, culture, and reconciliation.

A core principle in the success of the studio is the understanding that great design work is more than just visually appealing. At Common Foundry, we believe that great design is effective, intentional and strategic. We take a human-centered approach to problem-solving that involves the entire design process, from research and ideation to prototyping and testing. 

In addition to his practice at Common Foundry, Cory also works as a designer educator at Vancouver Island University.
