PREMIERE SPEAKER: PUBLIC EYE

Please note that, due to unforeseen circumstances, the previously scheduled speaker, Tracy Boychuk, is unable to come to Calgary for this event.

Founded by AUArts alumni Marc Husted (BDes '08, Photography) and Morgan Curley (BDes '11, VCD), Public Eye is a Calgary-based design and branding agency that specializes in transforming brands in the hospitality, beverage, and arts sectors.

Their work with Ol’ Beautiful Brewing Co. embodies analogue aesthetics and bold, tactile visuals. Meanwhile, their design for Eighty-Eight Brewing Co. highlights optimism and retro charm with a vibrant, award-winning identity. For Banff Ave Brewing Co., Public Eye revitalizes the brand with an energetic design that captures the company’s adventurous spirit.

Public Eye aligns branding with each client’s core values and local stories, emphasizing authentic, place-based storytelling. This focus on originality encourages other brewers to collaborate with local artists, showcase community narratives, and develop distinctly recognizable visual styles.
