I’m Kening, an artist and writer, and compulsive builder of creative things.

I work with creative souls and free spirits to express and manifest their unique vision, work, and fullest potential in the world — to turn their potential creative energy into kinetic power.

Branding, to me, is not about presenting an “image,” but about a living expression of your truth, projected outwards. Your essence distilled.

Let’s explore together.

01.

vision & mission

trust and clarity on who you are, what you have, and what you can give to the world.

— website design

let’s build a beautiful site you’re proud to share. we embark on a 4-6 week process of creating (or recreating) your website from the ground up — first by understanding your short and long term goals, then by distilling it down to its simplest core objective. what do you really need your website to do for you?

all websites are designed on Squarespace 7.0, because I dislike the generic look of 7.1.

I loved working with Kening. She made the branding process feel deeply personal and creative. She was a confident guide who led me on a journey through my sense of self (since we were building a personal brand) toward new colors, ideas, and images that I didn't even realize were so perfectly fitted to me until I saw them. I was so impressed by her skill and sense of ease, and I've recommended her to many of my friends since.

As someone who is new to the craft of branding, I could not have imagined a better all-in-one resource than Kening to get started with a process to articulate what my small business is about.

What impressed me most about my [brand clarity] session with Kening is how she was able to switch between an organic and a more structured approach seamlessly, many times throughout our conversation. During the organic parts, she asked deliberate questions, listened intently, and allowed my budding thoughts to evolve naturally. Then she would expertly recap and expand on my thoughts, while offering structure and follow-up writing prompts to help me evolve these initial impulses into the [brand] deliverables.

An unexpected side effect of her exercises was that they also helped me with my personal and professional branding, since I was finally able to bang out a LinkedIn summary that I'd avoided writing for years. I hope to work with Kening again in the future!

It was a pleasure working with Kening, who helped me create and maintain a website for a charity concert that I organized. Kening is very creative, smart, talented, and kindhearted. I’ve truly enjoyed getting to know her, am impressed by her abilities, and recommend her and her talent without hesitation. You will be in great hands!
