Hello! My name is Kennedy Simpson. I am a Graphic Designer currently residing in St. Paul, Minnesota, where I was born and raised. Almost all of my work has been created using Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. I find lots inspiration through my experiences as a mixed race person, as I find exploring ideas of racial confusion and the impacts of micro aggressions on people of color extremely important. I strive to visually represent and recreate ideas for multi and mono-racial individuals to understand. Whether or not one of my pieces has a complex or serious message, my goal is to make my viewers feel *something* - the beauty of art is that *something* is always open for interpretation. 

 

In addition to creating digital art, I love to rollerblade, collect too many plants, drink and make coffee (I've been a barista for 6 years), and raise my cat Nova. 

​

I take pride in my ability to empathize with others in order to create works of art that represent a feeling, experience, or brand. I received my BA in Digital Media Arts from Hamline University in 2020, alongside a minor in Psychology.
