About me

Hi, I'm Matthew Kenney, a US-based graphic designer with a decade of freelance experience specializing in digital and print design. I've been trusted to design for entrepreneurs, content creators, award-winning studios, and small businesses.


Born and raised in Muncie, Indiana. I also attended Ball State University, a GDUSA top design school, and graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design. While at Ball State, I joined two key organizations—Studio 165+, as a Junior Designer, where I dived into collaborative client projects at an award-winning design studio, and Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, as Chairman of Public Relations and Apparel, which helped me grow creatively and socially. I was also in OneCreative’s Mentorship Program (Graphic Design Club) and was paired with alumni mentors for weekly virtual sessions. The topics were professional growth-related, including portfolio building, job searching, industry expectations, and relocating for career opportunities.


I'm currently running Matt Kenney’s Design Company, where I help brands bring strategy-driven work across motion, branding, print, advertising, and UI/UX. I’m also seeking a full-time design role where I can contribute to a creative team, while continuing to take on select freelance projects on the side.



My Journey

I discovered my creative spark in 2010 as a kid through YouTube—first editing stop-motion and gaming videos, which eventually led me to freelance graphic design in 2015. Early on, I landed my first opportunities by collaborating with popular YouTube content creators, including members of FaZe Clan, KEEMSTAR, HonorTheCall, ZexyZek, JhbTeam, Ryan Schreffler, and Matthew Gonzalez. That freelance success inspired me to pursue a BFA in Graphic Design at Ball State University. What began with YouTube thumbnails and social media graphics evolved into a decade-long passion for visual storytelling.


Outside of work, you’ll find me at concerts, learning guitar riffs, exploring thrift stores, obsessing over classic cars, or hanging out with friends.
