I have had the pleasure of working closely with KDA on recent projects, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with their dedication, expertise, and professionalism. From the moment we started collaborating, it was evident that KDA possesses a remarkable ability to grasp complex concepts quickly and find innovative, beautiful solutions that fit with the level of our brand. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they consistently go above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the project is executed flawlessly.

In short, KDA consistently delivers outstanding results. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any project or endeavor!

Metropia and KDA have been collaborating on signage, wayfinding and community naming since 2015. Metropia continues to engage KDA because they create a comprehensive and thoughtful Community Name and then tie all the signage, naming and wayfinding back into the overall community brand and create an aesthetically pleasing signage program. Signs are not placed as an afterthought, but rather carefully thought through and designed to use materials, fonts, language, and icons that reflect our community brand and our placemaking for the project.

KDA works closely with our architects and interior design team to ensure an elevated and elegant wayfinding experience is offered in all of our communities.

As architects, our foremost concerns reside in providing an exceptional built work for our clients. This is only possible through a highly intricate and dynamic collaboration with an ever growing large number of specialty consultants, for which communication is key. Our choice to work with KDA is founded in their ability to excel at this fundamental aspect of our professional services delivery model. Not only do they bring to the table highly sensitive and critical design thinking, most importantly they are skilled communicators and perceptive working partners.

As leaders of the firm, both Jeremy Kramer and Janet Young are receptive listeners, who are responsive to our needs and those of the project, providing insightful solutions through an on-going shared dialogue. KDA are an exceptional group of professionals.

Jeremy and the team at KDA have been valuable partners of Oxford for many years. In our retail portfolio, they led the design and implementation of our signage and wayfinding master plans at Yorkdale, STC and Square One. These comprehensive plans included both interior and exterior signage elements which allowed for a consistent brand experience from the moment you arrived on the property, with gateway signage, all the way down to simple things like washroom signs. The results were outstanding. During this process, KDA was collaborative and listened to our needs. They also had the experience and contacts to deal with all of our municipal approvals.

We truly appreciate them as a trusted partner.
Thank you, KDA!

Lux 9 Inc. joined forces with the brilliant team at KDA to support the wayfinding and signage for the Lakeview Village Discovery Centre. KDA crafted an integrated wayfinding plan that journeyed visitors through an art trail to a recreation field, to sculpture didactics in a field of sunflowers. The team elevated the brand expression within the Discovery Centre with a custom graphical language set and naming conventions that embraced the spirit of Lakeview Village.

KDA’s commitment to executional excellence contributed to the awards and critical acclaim the Discovery Centre has received.
