About
Hélène Godin is a force to be reckoned with in the design world, both nationally and internationally. A graduate of the Université du Québec à Montréal, her
creative vision is all-encompassing and free of boundaries. A firm believer in
the power of creative multidisciplinarity, Hélène has mastered the art of seamlessly merging architecture and design, having worked closely with a variety of architects on such mandates as the new Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ) and Bose USA stores. Passionate about branding, she is the brains behind several rebranding missions, including Gaz Métro, Tourisme Montréal, the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and Cirque du Soleil.
Leader of one of the most talented creative teams for the last ten years, Hélène’s efforts have been honoured by the industry’s biggest, having won a Gold Lion and a Silver Lion at Cannes. Her talent has also earned her nods from the Advertising & Design Club, the One Show, the Type Directors Club and Communication Arts magazine, not to mention numerous Créa and Grafika awards.
Hélène led the jury at the 2009 Grafika awards, and has served on many on other juries, such as for Applied Arts, Code Berlin and Réalisons Montréal. She’s frequently invited to give conferences and host creative workshops around the world. Hélène is very active in her milieu, especially where university students are concerned. At Sid Lee, she actively participates in the recruiting and
coaching of new talent.
Partner at Sid Lee for several years and always involved in projects in a dynamic way, Hélène is now lending her time to Heritage Montreal and Mission Design, assisting them in their mission to get Montreal recognized as a creative capital.
