Hey, I’m Kendrek!

I’m a communication designer and art director who helps leaders turn complex ideas into clear, compelling visual narratives for moments that matter. Design isn’t just about how something looks—it’s about how well a message is understood and acted upon.

My work spans executive presentations, leadership-facing systems, and brand platforms across technology and media, including work for Twitter, Condé Nast, and Zillow. I specialize in narrative clarity, systems thinking, and visual storytelling at scale.
