Goodwin Creative is a boutique design studio based in Squamish & Vancouver, BC. The company is owned by mother-daughter team and West Coast locals, Jude and Sky Goodwin.
Jude Goodwin has been in the creative design business since 1975 and has been developing websites since 1995. Sky started with the company in 2008 as web maintenance mistress and resident Dreamweaver go-to. She became an owner in 2018.
Goodwin Studios designed, developed and launched over 50 websites in the Sea to Sky Corridor beginning in 2002, when it first opened its doors in Squamish. In December 2018 Goodwin Studios was incorporated into the new company, Goodwin Creative.
With Sky’s background in visual arts, event management and administration and Jude’s 30 years of design, together we make a dynamic, multi-generational, well rounded team with diverse interests and skills. We love good design and love working together, and it shows.
We believe in teamwork and love to put together unique teams for each project. We’ve been lucky to work with some amazing people with enormous talent.

Goodwin Creative used current applications, excellent creative choices and extreme patience for guiding the BFI content supplier, to produce a website we are all proud of. Working with professionals is the only way to go.
Xavier Williams - Director, Existential Analysis Society of Canada
Working with Jude and Sky was a pleasure. I was particularly impressed by how they were able to approach the design from the point-of-view of the user, parsing out what was previously heavy and convoluted content into easy to understand and visually elegant text. I will use them again and have no hesitation in recommending them to everyone!
Cliff Miller - Test of Metal, Inc.

I felt like I got great advice on my site from the outset, which made creating the web site a streamlined process. Any little issues that came up were quickly addressed which was great. I’m super happy with how my web site works and looks. Thanks Jude and Robyn!
