MY BIOGRAPHY
I’m Kendell Burton, and I am an award-winning creative professional who is passionate about using design to craft brand strategies and tell compelling business stories. With over 9 years of experience in graphic design, digital and social media marketing, and brand positioning with leading advertising agencies, I know what it takes to translate business objectives into design concepts that attract the right target audiences and drive operational results. My expertise spans the political, entertainment, sports, and consumer packaged goods sectors where I have had the opportunity to partner with some of the world’s most recognizable brands and platforms, including Universal Studios, HBO, Hasbro, Pepsi, McDonald’s, the NFL and NBA.
Some of my notable achievements to date:

- Spearheaded promotional graphic and video content design for the film “Alita, Battle Angel” in 2019
