DSGN Dept. is the collaborative print design studio led by creative directors Naomi MacDougall and Jessica Sullivan.

Between us, we’ve won over 75 Alcuin Awards for Excellence in Book Design in Canada, plus three Applied Arts Awards for our book packaging. Our work has been exhibited at the Tokyo Printing Museum, the Leipzig and Frankfurt bookfairs, and institutions across Canada.

We are frequent guest lecturers in design and publishing classes and have judged various design and photography awards—but most important are our happy clients!
