About
This site is by Chris Kennish: graphic designer, musician, vegetarian, unicyclist, origamist and father.
The offspring of a mathematician and an art historian, teachers both. Trained in O level Technical Drawing and Graphic Communication from age twelve, leaving school at sixteen to return to a vocational Graphic Design course at Kingston College's School of Art and Design, aged twenty one. Overlapping these studies with a full time Technician post at the Teaching Materials Production Unit at Kingston University proving a solid grounding in conceptual design, the technicalities of digital imaging and the fundamentals of information graphics in an education context.
Several years spent with Cope & Glory creative design agency handling a variety of briefs from concept to delivery for clients in the consumer electronics, healthcare and leisure industries served as a thorough immersion in both the demands of corporate style and the practicalities of commercial artworking.
Public sector consultancy followed: working with several Museum, Library and Archive services at County and Borough level on a wide range of traditional, new media and interactive design projects, with particular attention to branding, accessibile UI design and development of interactive learning modules.
Fatherhood and freelancing came next: juggling the demands of a newborn with the pressures of client requirements and commercial deadlines, leading to a five year stint at one of Brighton's premier full service digital agencies, Worth, working on high profile behaviour change and marketing campaigns.
I live in Hove with my daughter and am currently employed as a designer and front-end developer at KYOH.
