Kana

Firmly established in the ethos of sustainable innovation, Kana stands as a guiding light in Canada, championing a transformative approach to culinary habits and nurturing a closer bond with our environment. Conceived from a deep-seated wish for progress, Kana pledges to redefine the core of cooking, baking, and ecological awareness.

The brand's identity, initially conceptualized by Montreal-based design studio By Haus, was further enriched through my collaboration with Kana's dedicated team. Together, we expanded the brand's narrative across various platforms, including newsletters, the website, social media channels, printed materials, and advertisements. This collaborative effort not only extended Kana's brand identity but also reinforced its mission to inspire change through every meal prepared and every story shared.

“I've collaborated with Amanda in both the apparel and kitchenware industries, two distinct sectors, yet consistently experiencing the same level of quality and synergy.

Amanda's heightened sensitivity and skill set elevate every project, ensuring a thoughtful and emotionally resonant design. Her unique approach, driven by both human and measurable factors, results in deliverables that not only captivate aesthetically but also leave a lasting impact. It is crucial to surround myself with rare talents like Amanda who consistently goes beyond expectations, actively contributing to enhancing customer experience, brand perception and fostering increased engagement. I am looking forward to our next project.”
