Doreen Colonello

Founder and Creative Director at Doreen Colonello Design

Speaker

After working for one of the world’s most preeminent design studios, Gottschalk+Ash (G+A), for 20+ years (including becoming creative director of branding), Doreen has built an incredible portfolio, including the likes of Interac, MiWay Transit, and Scott Mission. Today, the precision and craft, along with thoughtfulness and concept in her design, is something she applies to every design project. She is currently working with Fook Communications as a freelance designer.

Doreen studied graphic design at the Ontario College of Art, now OCAD U. She continued her studies at the Basel School of Design where she had the opportunity to learn from Armin Hoffmann, Wolfgang Weingart, and Kurt Hauert.

Aside from her passion for design, Doreen also spends her time volunteering at the Toronto Humane Society.
