KENDRICK KIDD
Jacksonville, Florida

Kendrick’s design work is as varied as the cereal aisle at your local grocer. His love for exploring new techniques helps his pieces stay fresh, and keeps Kidd engaged in the ever-evolving design community. Where some designers have used style to define their work, Kendrick unifies his portfolio with his approach. “I’ve always loved a great design execution, but the work I enjoy creating the most has a great concept behind it too”, Kidd says. This thread of thought becomes clearer the deeper you explore the themes and story vignettes in much of his work.

DAN GRETTA
Asehville, North Carolina

Dan Gretta is a graphic designer and illustrator, located in Asheville, NC. While his aesthetic varies, he is so often influenced by old old books and billheads. Dan specializes in anything from branding to packaging and tries to experiment and learn something new with each project.

On a good day, Dan considers himself to be a mediocre indoor plant horticulturist, a craft beer whisperer, and an occasionally efficient almond blancher. When he’s not doing a subpar job at those, he enjoys playing music, biking, and camping. He will never turn down a barrel-aged beer or sandwich accompanied by a brioche bun.
