Hi , my name is Josyan
I am a graphic + visual designer.
20+ Years of Expertise & Professionalism at Your Disposal
With over two decades of experience in graphic design, visual storytelling, and creative direction, I specialize in crafting impactful designs that bridge art and strategy.
From museums and architectural firms to independent creators and small businesses, I collaborate with clients who value design’s power to inform, engage, and inspire.
I also provide creative virtual assistance through Graphique Assist design packages. I help businesses elevate their brand presence with cohesive visuals and strategic design solutions.
Digital, Print or Publication Design
My expertise spans print and digital media, including annual reports, brand identity, exhibition graphics, publications, and marketing materials.
I have worked with esteemed cultural institutions, architecture firms, and entrepreneurs, ensuring that each project aligns with their vision and audience.
Beyond design
I am also a mixed-media artist creating moody, textured abstracts and expressionistic botanicals that exist in the space between reality and recollection. While my work is rooted in organic forms, my true focus lies in the excavation of emotion as I use layers of medium to mirror the complexity of human experience.
My work has been curated and exhibited through Gallea, reaching diverse audiences across Quebec. Recent showcases include:
Demers Beaulne | Montreal (April 2026 to October 2026)
AERA | Saint-Constant (February 2026 to August 2026)
Signé Local | Montreal (October 2025 to April 2026)
Cohesive design isn’t just about aesthetics: it’s about creating a unified experience that communicates purpose and enhances impact.

*translated from original French recommendation
“I’d work with her again in a heartbeat.”
I had the chance to work with Josyan on a wayfinding and architectural graphics project for one of GardaWorld’s business units, and she was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with.
Wayfinding can get complicated fast—but Josyan approaches it with a calm confidence that makes everything feel clear and manageable. She really knows her craft. Not just aesthetically, but functionally—how people move through space, how decisions get made in real time, and how design supports all of that.
She’s thoughtful, detail-oriented, and incredibly reliable. She’s the kind of person who listens carefully, asks the right questions, and then delivers great results.
On top of that, she’s genuinely great to work with. Professional, collaborative, and steady throughout the entire process.
