Hatlie Group

WEBSITE

Alberta-based consultants Alexandra Hatcher [Alexandra Hatcher Consulting] and Crystal Willie [Purple Aspen Inc. external-link-icon-9] teamed up to form Hatlie Group, a consulting firm specializing in making a difference for heritage and cultural organizations. Initially joined by Associates Anna Rebus, Trisha Carleton, and Rhonda Kronyk, they debuted Hatlie Group at the 2019 Canadian Museums Conference in Toronto. Hatlie Group has since expanded with additional Associates, and has an impressive client list. Their success is reflected in their refocused website:

Among a number of business-related visuals, Hatlie Group’s unique approach to sustainability planning includes specific tools which are represented graphically—I created these from a facet of the star in their [supplied] logo:

NORDEGG DISCOVERY CENTRE

As a key member of the Hatlie Group-led Project Team for the Clearwater County Exhibition Renewal Project at the Nordegg Discovery Centre, I looked after the design of the main hallway visitor information space [opened May 2023], and the two- and three-dimensional design of “Among Clear Waters: Stories of this Place”. These new exhibits for two main floor rooms focusing on area history, geography, and people [opened May 2024]. This was a fabulous challenge which I have long wanted to undertake!

Hatlie Group Associate Anna Rebus headed up exhibit research; Vancouver-based Great Northern Way Scene Shop external-link-icon-9 was brought on board to look after construction and install; and local printhouse Trimline Signs external-link-icon-9 in Rocky Mountain House was instrumental in bringing the exhibit to life.
