Hi, welcome to Kennedy’s (she/her) world. This website is both a portfolio and a blog.
Graduating with a bachelor’s in Art History, Kennedy has been firmly in the art world for a nearly a decade, dipping her toe in every aspect for the creative space: curatorial intern, gallery intern, editorial intern, visiting curator, studio assistant, art history tutor, website and content manager for a textile + furniture company, social media manager for an art museum, social media manager for an artist, artistic brand identity manager… the list goes on. Throughout these experiences, she created graphic design and set design projects for art institutions as well as for local businesses, Youtube channels and her personal blog.
A creative thinker with excellent interpersonal, communication, analytic and problem solving skills, Kennedy has an ability to develop and complete packaging and brand designs from concept to production-ready files. She is also proficient in digital marketing with experience working with ecommerce platform, social media platforms and streaming platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch). During her leisure time, she designs and tailors clothes for herself and others, and she is currently writing her debut spy novel.
