About Koe Design Studio

Hi! I’m Kayla Whitney, the lead artist behind Koe Design. Since 2017, I’ve been creating bold, large scale works for both interior and exterior spaces, including private commissions and public art installations across Southern Ontario.

I've had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of clients, including the cities of Toronto, Hamilton, Oakville, and Collingwood, as well as notable brands such as the LCBO, Holt Renfrew, The Globe and Mail, and Call It Spring. I also partner with marketing and design agencies to bring creative visions to life. Some of the agencies I've worked with include Solid Design Creative, Laundry Design Media, and the LCBO's in-house agency.

Over the years, I’ve honed an efficient process that allows me to take on large projects with speed and precision. My passion for creative problem solving has equipped me with the skills and experience to build and create the unexpected. I thrive on challenges and am always eager to explore uncharted territory, embracing new opportunities.

Every project is a new adventure, and I genuinely love what I do. Let’s make something great together!

I love making things that make people stop and go, “Wait… what is that? How did they do that?” I’m all about creating a sense of mystery and wonder, using everyday materials in unexpected ways to catch people off guard and spark curiosity.
