Izzy Poirier

About

Izzy Poirier is a brand and editorial designer and strategist with more than 15 years of experience creating identities, publications, and print experiences. Her work combines strategic thinking with a conceptual approach, exploring how typography, materials, production techniques, and physical interaction can shape the way people experience design.

Alongside her independent practice, Izzy is the founder and Creative Director of Ottawa Design Club, where she leads the creative direction of an award-winning publication series. What began as a community zine has evolved into increasingly ambitious editorial projects that explore storytelling, interaction, and experimental print production.

Through her talks, Izzy takes audiences behind the scenes of real projects, sharing the pivots, production challenges, and design decisions that turn an initial concept into a finished publication
