We are pleased to have Jay Wall joining us for a special lecture "From site to Story:  Graphic Communication for Landscape Architects".

Jay Wall is a creative director working at the intersection of graphic design, urbanism, and social change. At O2 Planning and Design, he leads communication design for urban planning, landscape architecture, and public engagement projects, helping make placemaking more accessible and inclusive. Prior to joining O2, Jay founded and led the design studio RallyRally. His work has been recognized with the RGD Ultra Bold Award, several Social Good Design Awards, and a Next City Vanguard fellowship. He was named a top public space champion by Spacing Magazine. Based here in Guelph, Jay is also a design educator and a dad who loves riding bikes.

This lecture is generously supported by the Student Teaching Enhancement Fund of the Student Federation of the Ontario Agricultural College.
