I'M A DESIGNER
KARAMVIR SINGH KHOKHER
ABOUT ME
I solve design problems across brand, visual, print and digital.
Senior multidisciplinary designer with 13 years of experience across graphic design, brand identity, editorial, print production, digital design and UX/UI.
My career has moved from hands-on production and client design at Staples Canada to brand and editorial leadership at Seerat, along with independent work across identity, campaigns, web and digital experiences.
I approach design practically: understand the problem, build the right visual system, and make sure the final execution works just as well as the concept.

Story…
01
The Applied Arts Foundation
I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Applied Arts from Apeejay College of Fine Arts in Jalandhar, Panjab — a discipline built on the intersection of artistic vision and purposeful design. While Fine Arts trains the eye, Applied Arts trains the hand to solve — to make composition, typography, and visual hierarchy work in the real world. That foundation has never left my work.
02
Canada & the next chapter
Moving to Toronto meant building from scratch in a new market. I enrolled in Seneca College's Graphic Design Advanced Program — not to restart, but to sharpen. What followed was a career that moved from design consultant to design supervisor at Staples Canada, then to creative director of a cause-driven fashion magazine, and most recently to freelance design leadership at BixBlog Co.
03
The UX evolution
In 2026, I completed the Google UX Design Professional Certificate—not as a career pivot, but as an extension of my design practice. It added formal research, interaction and usability methods to a foundation already built through years of visual, brand and digital design.
"Design is most powerful when it makes the invisible visible — when it gives a voice to the people who are never usually centred. Seerat was the clearest example of that I've ever worked on."
What drives the work
I believe the best design has a point of view. It doesn't just communicate — it takes a position. Whether I'm designing a brand system, a magazine spread, or a mobile app, I ask the same question first: what should this make someone feel? The answer shapes everything that follows.
How I work
I work best through direct, collaborative communication. I ask questions early, clarify the problem before designing, and present rationale alongside the work so decisions are grounded in purpose—not preference.
Outside the studio
Photography has been a parallel practice for years — it sharpens my eye for composition and light in ways that digital tools alone can't. I also follow fashion closely, which is less about aesthetics than about understanding how culture expresses itself through form. Both feed directly into the design work.
