About Forest Lake Road Studios
The Messy Art of Marketing and Making Things
Welcome to Forest Lake Road Studios, where the messy art of marketing and making things takes center stage! We believe design and marketing are like the perfect odd couple—equal parts art and science. When the precision of research and relevance meets the creativity of design, content, and crafting, magic happens. (Okay, maybe not literal magic, but pretty close.) The result? Things that actually connect with your audience instead of just sitting there looking pretty.
We’re a team of two who divide and conquer to bring your ideas to life. Some days, one of us puts on the "artsy dreamer" hat while the other rocks the "science geek" vibes. Other days, we swap hats like we’re in a sitcom montage. Either way, we’re here to make your project not just work—but work beautifully.
Here are a few things we can definitely help you with:
- Branding (logo, sub brands, packaging, signage design)
- eCommerce (Shopify, WooCommerce, and more)
- Website and content development
- Photography, video and sound production
- Advertising (Meta, Google, local media)
We take a collaborative approach to our design process, working closely with our clients to understand their brand, their audience, and their goals. Our team of experienced designers is dedicated to creating custom, innovative solutions that are tailored to each client's unique needs and objectives.
With over 30 years of experience in the advertising and design industry, our team has worked with a diverse range of clients across retail, technology, services and more. From startups to established businesses, we have the skills and expertise to deliver exceptional results that drive growth and success.
Now that you know what we’re all about, let’s meet the team!
Lynda
With over 30 years of digital marketing wizardry under her belt, Lynda has been the secret sauce behind some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Coke and McDonald’s. (Yes, she probably knows what goes into the special sauce, but her lips are sealed!) When she’s not crafting marketing strategies that work like magic, she’s helping local gems like Toronto’s Couple Jewellery, Barrie’s Canadoor Garage Doors, and Grillicious Restaurant shine. Lynda’s superpower? Turning complex digital tools into simple, winning plans—and making it look effortless. Her passion? Watching those plans deliver results that make her clients do a happy dance.
Ben
Part artist, part tech wizard, and full-time creative dynamo, Ben is the guy who can make anything look good. Whether he’s snapping photos, illustrating masterpieces, shooting videos, mixing sound, or conjuring up 3D designs, Ben does it all with flair. He’s worked with global giants like Adobe and Microsoft (no big deal, right?) and helped local legends like Shuswap’s Paradise Pizza, BC’s Coast Mountain Sports, and Barrie’s Canadoor level up their game. From building brands to designing websites and running ads on Google and Meta, Ben’s your go-to guy for bringing wild ideas to life. Fun fact: He’s powered by music and coffee pretty much!
