Hi there. I'm Kendall.
No, not the one blessed with epic bone structure and a family (in)famous for alliteration and ample assets. ;)
I'm a conceptually driven Creative & Strategist who’s been helping brands navigate and find success in our increasingly complex media landscape since the days of bedazzled flip phones.
I've concepted, directed, defined, and refined award-winning Creative, Content, & Design Strategy for many of the Fortune 500 and beyond: TV/Media networks, CPG & food products, lifestyle/fashion brands, alcoholic beverages, Millennial & Gen Z focus brands, live events, music festivals, record labels, hospitality & travel brands, restaurants, pharmaceutical and wellness products, B2B & B2C companies, non-profits & fine arts organizations— both via agencies & in-house.
Specialties? You name it, I've probably done it: 360 Campaigns, TV, Digital/Content, Concepting & New Business/Pitch Work, UX/UI Strategy & Design, Photo & Video Shoots, Visual Identity Branding, Presentation & Graphic Design, Photo Comps/Mock Ups, Photography, Retouching/Color Correction, Print, Experiential, Copy, Typography, Illustration, PR, Creative & Digital Strategy, and heck... even the occasional Banner Ad. ;)
It’s been a wild and exciting ride for sure, but my varied experiences have honed me into a dexterous, real-time creative problem solver — perfectly primed to help brands create the kind of seamless, integrated experiences and stories 21st century consumers have come to expect from the names they know and love.
Intrigued? Check out some of the work I’ve done, if you like what you see - let’s connect! I’m always open and eager to learn about interesting work and opportunities.
