In the world of digital design and 3D imaging, a few names resonate with innovation, creativity, and success. Among these is Kaushik Vijay, the visionary behind House of Blue Beans agency. This tale isn’t just about technological triumphs; it’s a narrative deeply rooted in perseverance, heritage, and breaking away from the conventional to chart new territories in digital artistry.
From his early days, Kaushik Vijay was anything but ordinary. Born into a family where discipline and diligence were not just virtues but a way of life—thanks to his Naval Officer father—Kaushik learned early on that success comes to those who work for it. These lessons from his father shaped him into a restless spirit with an insatiable drive to achieve something different and be successful beyond traditional norms.
Bucking the trend was not easy. When Kaushik decided to dive into the realms of 2D and 3D design, he was venturing into relatively uncharted waters. The field was burgeoning, filled with opportunities yet fraught with challenges for those daring enough to explore its depths. His time at University of Creative Arts in Rochester, UK was marked by success but also by the palpable struggle familiar to anyone trying to make their mark in the startup tech world.
Despite these challenges, Kaushik’s vision never wavered. He dreamed of creating a sanctuary for dreamers like himself—a place that championed diversity and camaraderie. Thus was born House of Blue Beans in 2011, more than just an agency, it became a testament to what unwavering determination coupled with creative genius could achieve.

House of Blue Beans quickly distinguished itself through its high-quality standards and innovative designs under Kaushik’s leadership. His passion for 3D designs wasn’t just evident; it became synonymous with excellence as the agency went on to collaborate with Fortune 500 companies such as Target, Lowe’s Home Improvement, and Barrette Outdoor Living. Through these partnerships, where he has led teams in creating product imagery and videos for over 25,000 products, House of Blue Beans didn’t just deliver exceptional work; it revolutionized how companies showcased their products—melding artistry with advertising in ways previously unimagined in the digital landscape.
But what truly sets Kaushik apart is his ability to remember his roots while steering towards global success. The name ‘House of Blue Beans’ itself is a homage to his past—in 2008, he founded the Blue Bean Project, where a family of translucent blue beans speak without words, communicating only through body language. It symbolizes Kaushik’s journey: A creative director leads a team to a project’s finish line by how they’re able to communicate visually on behalf of a client’s goals.
Underlying this global acclaim is a commitment to diversity—a core principle for both Kaushik and House of Blue Beans. By creating an environment where varied perspectives are not just welcomed, but encouraged, they have cultivated creativity that knows no bounds.
He has successfully completed many projects and contracts both in India and globally. Kaushik’s specialty lies in the CGI, AR and VR spaces for retail and e-commerce. His firm was selected by Target’s Accelerators Program giving him and his firm a global perspective on the content creation needs and went on to provide content creation solutions globally.. In this program, Kaushik graduated with a multi-year contract with Target, helping promote the power of CGI over the next few years and make his foray into the global markets.
“The most popular service we have is our photorealistic product creation and visualization,” said Kaushik. “We have delivered over 25,000 3D products and thousands of lifestyle and product imagery, helping sell thousands of products worldwide. We create some of the best visuals through CGI, computer generated imagery that helps customers make a more informed purchase decision and in turn saving millions of dollars in costs for his clients.”
Looking ahead, Kaushik believes this is only the beginning for House of Blue Beans. With plans to expand their offerings and delve deeper into innovative technologies like CGI, 3D rendering, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), they stand on the precipice of defining the future landscape of digital marketing and design.

Kaushik Vijay’s story transcends being merely about business success; it’s about honoring one’s heritage while pioneering new frontiers in technology and design.
