Hey, I’m Kendrek!

I’m a creative director and brand-focused designer who helps leaders and teams turn complex ideas into clear, compelling visual narratives for moments that matter.

Design isn’t just about how something looks—it’s about how clearly a message lands, and how confidently it moves people to act.

My work spans executive storytelling, brand systems, and large-scale creative initiatives across technology and media—including Twitter, Condé Nast, and Zillow. I specialize in narrative clarity, systems thinking, and visual storytelling at scale.
