All Ways Creative is a small graphic design studio based out of Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Headed by Andrea Wray and a collaboration of other designers, illustrators, photographers and web developers, the studio does work for both small, independent businesses, as well as larger multi-national corporations. Keeping things intentionally small allows for a personal designer/client experience and an in
dividualistic approach for every new project. It may be the combination of eco-conscious values and international travelling, but we see the need for a strong connection and appreciation of community, and our primary interest lies in the “local.” We want to bring innovation and the highest standards of design to smaller, independent businesses, as well as environmental and non-profit organizations. Philosophy
“Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.” - Victor Hugo
We believe a strong concept is our most valuable asset and with the right technical tools, we can create brilliant things. Language, research, and problem-solving are the key factors that help us develop good design, and of course passion and skills are what bring it to life. Background
