The summer issue of .yukon.magazine is on bookstands now and features an article about my father, Michael Lewis Pacey, and the work he created for various groups in the Yukon during the 1970’s and 80’s.
The article contains photos of a wide range of his Yukon-related work, from logos to booklets to highway signage, an an insightful article by editor Kanina Holmes ().
It was an absolute pleasure to be interviewed by Kanina about Michaels work, his aesthetic, and his impact on my design career.
Thank you again to Kanina and to Manu (), the publisher and Creative Director of Yukon Magazine, for recognizing Michael’s impact and for helping me to preserve and promote his legacy.
