Shikatani Lacroix Design (SLD)

Shikatani Lacroix Design (SLD) is a Toronto-based strategic design agency with over three decades of experience helping retail, packaging, and financial services brands connect with consumers emotionally and drive measurable business results. Using its proprietary Think Blink process and Blink Factor framework, SLD combines brand strategy, packaging design, retail environment design, and digital experience under one roof — with studios in Toronto and Shanghai supporting cross-border and Asia-market projects.

Clients have included WSS, US Bank, Canadian Tire, M&M Food Market, PepsiCo, and Renée's Gourmet. SLD's approach centers on identifying the specific emotional connections that influence purchase decisions, then translating that insight into brand strategy, packaging, and in-store execution designed to move the numbers that matter — traffic, conversion, and repeat purchase.
