I was classically trained as a multidisciplinary designer at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and shaped by decades of agency experience working at a leading Canadian design firm—Taylor|Sprules Corporation. There, we refined the art of brand identity systems—fusing strategy, craftsmanship, design, and photography, to create visual narratives with a unified voice.
From global brands to emerging ventures, my work spans industries including food & beverage, technology, military defence, government, and motorsports. Today, as the founder of Ivan Novotny Design, I collaborate closely with clients, uncovering the essence of their brand, defining what sets them apart, and translating it into design that forges a lasting emotional connection with their audience.
“It is at the intersection of clarity and imagination that true innovation is revealed.”
Thoughtful, strategic, grounded in craft, and driven by deep curiosity, my work is designed to move people. Staying true to the design process is essential to creating great work, as is the instinct to be bold and unconventional—to paint outside the lines. It is at the intersection of clarity and imagination that true innovation is revealed.
