About
Hi, I’m Kenny — a multidisciplinary designer and digital strategist with 10+ years helping organizations connect with their audiences through thoughtful, human-centered digital experiences. My fine arts background informs an approach that centers people first, because information only sets the tone when the audience is engaged.
I lead strategy sessions, develop brand identities and information architectures, and translate complex data into accessible visuals. My work spans federal agencies, DC government, nonprofits, and mission-driven brands, and I’m passionate about delivering measurable results—like the 386% Instagram growth I achieved for BOWSFest and multiple winning federal proposals.
