Art Direction by Ellen Bruss & Ken Garcia
The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver needed a brand refresh to reflect their eclectic yet approachable place in the art scene. Beyond just branding, we expanded this work into stationery, advertisements, and more. Please note that this was an unselected direction by the client.
After graduating from Northeastern University in 2018, McKenna cut her teeth at Sametz Blackstone, a small, 40+ year strong studio in Boston. She then moved on to the tech space, spending her pandemic years learning the ins and outs of cutting edge technology and working with some extremely talented folks along the way. After another short stint in agency life, McKenna settled back into the fast-paced world of tech at Lytx. When she’s not at her desk, you can find McKenna hitting new PRs on leg press, watching Seinfeld re-runs , and crocheting while her cats try to attack the string.
