Beautiful Product Catalogue
Beautiful product catalogue creation. How to display takeout containers in a compelling visual way. So proud to have the opportunity to tell an evolving story of Ecopax’s brand and its line of innovative products that are matching market demands. It is so wonderful to see this company moving from manufacturing classic single-use containers to producing innovative source reduction products over the years.
Changing perception of ADHD stigma
A simple powerful magazine ad created for Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA). The focus of the design is to empower people who are dealing with ADHD to take action, access resources and learn how to thrive by being part of the ADDA community.
Setting a mark at Gulfood exhibition for Lactopur
We were tasked to create a unison trade show booth display for Lactopur and its sister company Nutropur, for their spot at Gulfood, the world’s largest annual food and beverage trade exhibition in the Middle East. Lactopur and Nutropur are trading companies for commodities such as dairy products and spices. The goal was to create an eye-catching backdrop that showcases all their products and logistical trading methods while keeping the overall design dynamic with product images thoughtfully placed.
Plate by the new rule
Ecopax Inc. is a manufacturer of a wide variety of food and beverages takeout containers. One of the things that make us so proud of our client, Ecopax, is their continuous commitment to invest in product innovation aimed to reduce environmental footprint. Their new recyclable BPA & PFAS free Pebble Plate products are not only durable and microwaveable, they are made of 40% earth minerals. Less usage of plastic, happier the planet! The results of these thoughtfully produced products are a real game changer in the single-use disposable plate and container market.
Mouthwatering Asian Delights on Print
Banner ads require great attention to details to get it right. With that in mind, we created an eye-catching and savory food focused banner for Noobox restaurants. From our participation to the photoshoot to the creation of a punchy tagline, our goal was to make sure passersby will say “We want to try it”.
Bring brand focus to International ADHD Conference
Kai Design was tasked by three organizations – ADDA, CHADD and ADHD Coaches Organization (ACO), to create branding concepts for their first joint International Conference on ADHD. We presented three design ideas that reflect the theme of the conference: “Together we can…Together we will”.
Learning your ABC with KAI.
Our art director, I-Kai Chen, always had a hard time finding an alphabet poster that is cute enough for the kids to enjoy and stylish enough for their parents to display it on the wall. Hence, the concept of a designer A to Z poster was born! The goal of the design task was to enhance the traditional A to Z poster concept while adding a clever and modern graphic design touch that not only allow the content to stay educational, but also visually appealing.
Breathe in, breathe out with KAI Design
KAI Design’s director, I-Kai Chen, practices yoga and is on the path to explore meditation. What a coincidence when Breethe, a meditation app based in Montreal, reached out.
Breethe app makes meditating easy for everyday people with busy lives, busy minds and limited time. Formally known as OMG, I Can Meditate, Breethe was in need of a rebranding and we were thrilled to work with them! We provided them art and creative direction as well as suggesting a brand guide which includes a new landing page design, a new look for its social media and a new eNewsletter layout design.
With its new modern, zen, unclutttered and serene image, it’s now obvious Breethe is the easiest way to meditate and we gladly made that message comes alive. KAI Design is in full zen phase!
Visual makeover for a landscape architecture firm
Hodgins & Associés architectes paysagistes embarks on its 30th anniversary journey with a rebranding initiative and a complete facelift for their website.
Their reputation for building high quality and sensuous landscapes with an emphasis on collaboration, innovation and ageless design has to be presented in a new modern way. Kai Design’s task is to reflects Hodgins & Associés’ value and its positioning in the market space.
All about innovative products and “Less is More” value
Kai Design has been tasked to redesign the website for Ecopax Inc. — an agile single-use takeout containers manufacturer based in U.S. Our art direction is focused on displaying Ecopax’s wide range of products as well as communicating its quality and commitment for sustainable solutions. The creative concept represents Ecopax “Less is More” value with a whimsical touch. We are very proud to include this project in our #VeryKaiDesign portfolio.

Celebrating a business milestone with a touch of ‘romance’
Kai Design was tasked with creating the visual components of HETA’s 30th anniversary celebration. The concept we developed – “You Are In It” – evolved from the idea that this architecture firm’s clients are an integral part of its success story. This theme helped set the tonality of HETA’s new brand elements, as well as its communication approach when it comes to presenting itself in both the public and the clients’ eyes.
Thoughtful planning on both the frontend and the backend of new website
Over 220 emails were involved in launching VMRay’s brand new website. This has been one of our most ambitious web projects yet, designed with longevity and functionality in mind – all the while delivering a site content that is well thought out and carefully organized, frontend and backend!
Product features explained at first glance
To mark the launch of Ecopax’s latest green product for single-use takeout containers, we came up with a visually striking imagery to go with its promotional materials. We were able to shine a spotlight on the company’s new Pebble Box, an eco-friendly solution made with 40% earth mineral, resulting in a smaller environmental footprint.
A wide-ranging concept for a multifaceted company
In order to develop a branding concept for an organization comprised of four distinct divisions, we wanted to come up with a theme that would overlap all its business activities. Our client? The Montreal-based Pur group, consisting of Absorbpur, a distributor of environmental products, Lactopur, a dairy trading specialist, PurLogistics, a freight moving company, and Nutropur, a food commodities trader.

A Conversation with Julien Smith at SMBMtl
We are always thrilled to get up early to attend the Social Media Breakfast Montreal! Why?

The 22nd edition of the SMBMtl featured @Julien, who shared a conversation with the audience on startup trends, challenges and how he turned an idea that started as one’s need to a flourishing business.
