I'm Shawn King, currently based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. With over 20 years of experience in creative leadership, I've held roles ranging from Senior VP and Executive Creative Director at Trampoline to Head of Marketing for PAX Labs. My journey began at Bristol Group, where I honed my skills as an Art Director, and I've since built a diverse portfolio in the cannabis industry, including work with Zenabis and Civilized. I co-founded The Human Preservation Co., a brand focused on kindness and community. I hold a degree in Communication Arts with a focus on Graphic Design from NBCC Woodstock. I'm fluent in English and passionate about creating impactful brand narratives.

      We’ve created this clothing brand for like-minded people who believe in good. The name, “The Human Preservation Co.” is decidedly old-timey, and reflects timeless virtues. Our affect on the world can be profound and we should celebrate being awesome to each other. This isn’t a huge operation like saving the whales or reversing global warming. It starts small, by just being a good human to those around us. Never underestimate the power of a well timed smile or act of kindness.So, that’s it. You don’t have to be perfect, just be human.
