Tsawwassen First Nation came to Longhouse looking for experienced designers who could take graphic design off of their to-do list.
Tsawwassen First Nation is an Indigenous self-governing community delivering programs, services, and communications for members, staff, and partners. Their work covers governance, community services, events, and policy, all of which require clear, well-organized materials that can be produced on a regular schedule. As the Nation’s work continues to grow, so does the need to communicate clearly and consistently across the organization.
Tsawwassen was seeking a graphic design partnership with experienced designers who have a strong understanding of Indigenous cultures. Longhouse’s reputation for quality and our history of partnering with Indigenous organizations made us Tsawwassen’s first choice.
Graphic Design was part of almost every initiative, but managing it internally took time and attention away from other priorities. Now Longhouse provides ongoing graphic design support to TFN through a retained partnership, so they can win time back to focus on community organization and engagement.
Longhouse started by creating Brand Guidelines that would act as the foundation for projects going forward. This way, the Longhouse team had a close understanding of their brand and organizational direction, which created a simple process for recurring and one-off materials to be produced and updated without additional coordination.
