LOKI creates images, objects, and experiences that engage, empower, and oppose.

LOKI is a multidisciplinary design and communications studio based in Montréal / Tiohtià:ke. Our practice is rooted in social justice principles that guide the ways we work, the relationships we build, the strategies and aesthetics we create and deploy. We fight for equity, justice, and joy alongside marginalised communities.*

Blending strategic thinking and a passion for craft, we create projects that give form and agency to important ideas, issues, and stories. We help organizations clarify and carry out their mission by designing practical and purposeful communications tools and platforms.

We work with non-profits, community organisations, cultural and educational institutions, publishers, unions and associations, artists, researchers, and activist groups, as part of broader movements for social change. Our partnerships are built on the basis of trust, close collaboration, and often friendship.

The studio was founded in 2014 by graphic designer, educator, and community organizer Kevin Yuen Kit Lo. He is a member of the Memefest network and the Justseeds artists’ cooperative, and teaches in the Department of Design and Computation Arts at Concordia University. He is the author of Design Against Design (Set Margins’, 2024).

* “I was not speaking of a marginality one wishes to lose, to give up, or surrender as part of moving into the center, but rather as a site one stays in, clings to even, because it nourishes one’s capacity to resist. It offers the possibility of radical perspectives from which to see and create, to imagine alternatives, new worlds.”
— bell hooks, Marginality as Site of Resistance
