While Third Gen Design officially launched on January 1, 2019, our story in North Bay is decades in the making. Our founder, Mandy, is a third-generation designer, following in the footsteps of her father and grandfather.
For over 30 years, Mandy’s father, Kevin Strang, ran a successful design firm called x-height Graphics Inc. He passed the torch to Mandy, who had worked side-by-side with him for eight years, learning the trade and carrying on the family’s creative legacy. Before that, Mandy’s grandfather was a designer back in the days before computers, when everything was done by hand.
This deep history in the industry means that while our company may be young, our foundation is built on decades of experience, skill, and a passion for helping businesses succeed. We’ve evolved with the industry, but our dedication to great design remains a family tradition.
