Matthew Kenney

About

Award-winning multidisciplinary graphic designer with 10 years of experience spanning brand identity, digital, and print. What began in 2010 as self-taught YouTube graphics grew into collaborations with FaZe Clan, DramaAlert, and award-winning studios, and later into a BFA in Graphic Design at Ball State. My work will be featured in LogoLounge Book 15 around the Holiday season, and I’ve delivered 1,000+ digital assets, campaigns that boosted engagement, and print projects like Bedel Financial’s anniversary magazine. Today, I’m open to full-time opportunities while continuing to elevate brands through bold, thoughtful design.
