Hi, I’m Kyra Hennessy.
I am a Senior Graphic Designer based near Brisbane QLD, Australia. I have been working at a senior level in a marketing agency since 2018, working on print and digital projects with regional and national clients.
Due to my agency background I am used to working with a wide variety of clients, with ranging project scales and deadlines. I am adapt my skills to fit the branding guidelines and unique needs of each client.
I am a keen learner and will take the initiative to gain knowledge on new skills and technology within the industry. This has seen me expand and develop my skill set beyond Graphic Design. I have professional experience in marketing strategy, social media marketing, copywriting, motion graphics, animation and video editing.
Outside of work I enjoy getting hands on with creative projects, I love refurbishing furniture, sewing and all sorts of crafts. For me there is something particularly rewarding about creating something.
