Creating a kinder, more beautiful future.
J5 is a design studio with offices in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and Chicago. We work alongside healthcare institutions, governments, non-profits and communities to transform user experiences, the bottom line and society at large.
Our multidisciplinary team brings a unique combination of kindness, industry expertise and creativity to every interaction which is intended to feel very different from the traditional consulting experience.
Our studios
At J5, we refer to our offices as studios to reflect the dynamic environment where prototyping, experimentation and creativity are central to our process.
Much like an artist’s studio, our spaces have been designed to facilitate the cultural shift needed to inspire the creative confidence within our clients. This studio mindset supports our belief that the best solutions come from co-creation and iterative design with our clients.
Our culture
When people show up to work in authentic ways, everything gets better. We work in inclusive and non-hierarchical ways so everyone, regardless of role or title, can thrive in a friendly and creative environment.
All of our team brings expertise in connecting and integrating the right approaches, at the right time, to achieve success for our clients, projects and communities.
