Jeremy’s work has appeared everywhere, from Times Square billboards and office building walls to apparel, packaging, and boards ridden around the world. He has built long-standing relationships with clients who trust him not only for his craft but also for his collaborative, down-to-earth approach. With over two decades of experience, Jeremy believes great design should be as fun as it is functional—bringing that energy to every project.

Known for his hand-drawn typography and illustration, Jeremy’s bold design work spans apparel graphics, board designs, and coffee packaging. His work has been featured by brands like Burton Snowboards, Jetty Clothing, Yoloboard, Bellasol, and more. To date, He has helped more than 25 coffee brands stand out on the shelf while staying true to their story. In 2010, Vans Shoes commissioned Jeremy to create 10 one-of-a-kind, custom-painted shoes displayed in flagship stores from San Francisco’s Union Square to Beijing as part of their Custom Culture campaign.

Over the years, Jeremy’s work has appeared in Graphis New Talent Design Annual, Custom Kicks, and HOW Magazine, as well as on platforms like Adobe Partners by Design and NotCot.

A member of Orlando’s design community since 2004, Jeremy was privileged to speak at AIGA’s Re:Solutions Conference and has shared his passion for design with students at Flagler College, UCF, Rollins College, Full Sail University, and more.

When he’s not pushing pixels or draining ink pens, you’ll find Jeremy exploring Central Florida’s beaches and lakes with his wife and four sons.

HOW DO YOU SAY KENEDIK?

It's pronounced like kinetic.

I grew up with an interest in space and science and wanted to integrate my name KENNEDY into the brand somehow. Thus came up with KENEDIK (an alternate spelling of kinetic). The idea is that we're always learning, always growing, always trying to create and be inspired.

SHOULD I ATTEND ART COLLEGE?

You don't have to go to an art school to be successful, but you do need to have a drive to learn your craft. Devour everything you can design-wise, read books, go to lectures, take pictures, draw in sketchbooks. You should also surround yourself with good people who can push you to be better in all areas of your life.

I attended Ringling College of Art and Design in the early 2000s and thought it was a really good experience overall.

ANY ADVICE FOR YOUNG DESIGNERS STARTING OUT?

Do what you love. Find that stuff that really fires you up and go for it. You'll be more happy and you'll probably make better work. 

You also may not want to go into business for yourself right off the bat. First get some experience working for someone who inspires you and stretches you to learn. Learn how offices should or shouldn't be run, learn how to collaborate with various departments and personality types (but be sure to always be working on your own stuff on the side the whole time) When the time is right, start your own shop.

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR IDEAS?

They come from all around. You don’t know what will strike you and each project has it’s own needs. It’s the old signage on the street, it’s the sunset, it’s the way the tide has pushed in the driftwood, the line of that new car ... you just never know. 

I like to collect cameras, but also collect all kinds of cool print ephemera and vintage goods like skateboards and signs. We’ve got several flat files in the studio full of random cards, tags, letterpress stuff and posters. 

We have to admit we also have a little bit of an obsession with Pinterest as well. Having run out of room for cameras, were filling up pinboards instead. I think it kind of satiates my appetite for collecting random stuff, without the clutter. Feel free to lose a bunch of time here: (pinterest.com/cameraluv).
