Studio Notes

An editorial journal exploring design, branding, web, and the spaces where business and culture intersect — by C. Malynowskyj Creative Co. in Victoria, BC.

A journal exploring design, business, and the spaces where they meet.

Studio Notes by Casandra Malynowskyj is a design and branding journal rooted in real client work and hands-on experience since 2018. Through project breakdowns, brand strategy insights, and behind-the-scenes process notes, I explore the realities of branding, website design, and creative marketing — what works, what doesn’t, and why.

Alongside this work, I also highlight the places that give Vancouver Island its pulse — restaurants, bars, studios, and spaces shaped by people who care deeply about what they create. These stories focus on atmosphere, intention, and experience, celebrating the passion and creativity behind the places we gather.
