Hey there, I’m Kendra.
Undeniable Food Lover. Insatiably Curious. Driven to Create.

I’m a multidisciplinary designer and visual communicator living in Chicago, Illinois.

Before moving to the Windy City, I grew up and worked in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Capital of the World, the beautiful city of Cleveland, Ohio. True midwesterner at heart, I also received my BFA in Graphic Design from Miami University. While there I learned to craft and develop my skills and to create sophisticated, concept-driven, and unique design solutions. I believe in the attention and value of detail, the effectiveness of simplicity, and the interaction between function and aesthetic.

When I’m not creating, you can find me trying new restaurants, watching the latest and greatest tv show, and probably plotting when I can take my next trip.

I’m currently working as an Illustrator & Product Designer at Barnes & Noble / Paper Source.
