Chad Aucoin, Senior Designer

Chad is the artiste of the ICON team, sometimes unconventional, sometimes eclectic, but always passionate. Heck, he even triumphed as the winner of the ICON “Trading Offices” Design Challenge!

ICON has become the perfect arena for Chad to explore his creative instincts. He joined ICON in 2000 and showed his commercial artistry with the design of new brand identities for such clients as Cape Breton University, Systagenix Advanced Wound Care, Halifax Biomedical and Great Plains College. His design skills have resulted in three international Summit Creative Awards: the Celtic Colours International Festival; Cape Breton University’s Art Gallery Gala; and the Canadian Best Selling book, ONE: A Face Behind the Numbers.

The visual arts have always been a driving force in Chad's education and work experience. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree at Cape Breton University and followed that up with a Diploma in Graphic Design from the Nova Scotia Community College.
