Hi, I’m Ken. An integrated, design-led, strategically-driven, conceptual storyteller. I’m passionate about making the complex compelling.

With over 15 years of agency experience, I've done a little bit of everything across many different industries and mediums. From traditional broadcast, OOH, print, digital, social, web, and global brand identities to even employee trainings. Yes, trainings can be fun (and award-winning!) Working across a diverse mix of B2C and B2B clients, I can hold my own in any given conversation about aerospace, elevators, semi-conductors, IT solutions, Mexican lagers, sliced cheese and household cleaners. 

I’m an Akron, Ohio native, a third generation namesake who recently welcomed the fourth and consider myself equal parts humble and ambitious. Put simply, I want to have fun doing great work. Feel free to call me Kenny.
