my mission

Hi there, I’m McKenna!

I have always been a creative person so once I had that ah-ha moment and discovered that I could turn my love for creativity and art into a profession, it was game over. I knew I had to get my BFA in Graphic Design and Studio Art.

But it wasn’t until I worked with a small design studio, then a larger agency specializing in hospitality and luxury lifestyle brands, that I discovered the inspiring world of brand identity design. I loved the process of learning about each client and distilling everything into a memorable mark that represented them well, and eventually was given the role of lead designer for each brand development project.

In 2020, McKenna Sherrill Design Co. was born – a boutique studio founded to support and uplift other creatives through strategic, artistic designs that tell a story and make the world more beautiful. When I’m not dreaming up new designs, you’ll probably find me hiking/camping in the White Mountains with my fiance, thrift shopping, snuggling our two kitties Zeus and Simba, or working on yet another DIY house project!

The philosophy behind every design

  • Celebrate the small stuff

    I believe that the little things add up, which is why I love supporting solopreneurs and small businesses passionate about doing great things in the world and their communities. I celebrate the small wins that lead to big impact. And I’m inspired by the small pieces of your story and the process of weaving them into meaningful brand identities that help make your dreams happen.

  • Passion and care

    I treat your business like my own: with passion and care. I prioritize clear communication and processes so you always know where we’re at and where we’re going. And I ensure your brand’s visuals reflect the same quality and thoughtful attention to detail you pour into every other aspect of your work.

  • Own your story

    I showcase the best of who you are and what makes you unique, so you can be fully, confidently, and authentically yourself in your branding. That means infusing the story behind why you do what you do into your visual design and making sure that your path as a business owner—and your vision for the future—are reflected in every aspect of your brand.

  • Radiate kindness

    I love doing work that makes the world a better, brighter place—and I love partnering with people who are doing the same in their own businesses. I always strive to look for the good and celebrate the little things that make life more joyful and beautiful.

  • Empower creativity

    I’m passionate about helping my clients express and realize their own brand of creativity through visual design. I’m your collaborator and partner in the creative process, and I create brands that are truly artistic in their own right: memorable, one-of-a-kind, and loaded with connection and meaning.

Good design isn’t just about the big-picture stuff. Details matter, and the process is as important as the result.

COMPREHENSIVE DISCOVERY

Through questionnaires and in-person discovery sessions, I listen to understand your business goals, vision for your brand, and the small details that will best tell your story and capture what makes you unique.

CLEAR TIMELINES

At the beginning of each project, we’ll set clear milestones for each stage of development. You’ll know exactly when to expect each round of designs for review, as well as when the project will be concluded so you can plan the rest of your marketing.

CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION

Throughout the project, I’ll keep you posted on what I’m working on, what I need from you, and what to expect next. I’ll also explain the thought process behind each design and share guidelines for giving feedback so you never feel like you’re struggling to express what you’d like to see from your design.

“Heading into my rebrand, I was a bit tentative because I couldn’t really put into words what, exactly, I was looking for. Luckily for me, McKenna has an extremely thorough on-boarding process that asked all the right questions and helped me hone where I wanted to take my brand. Once we pinned down my brand values and aesthetic, her well-designed workflow made the process truly seamless, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!”

“McKenna is everything you could hope to find in a graphic designer: thoughtful, accommodating, and creative. I came to her with a simple idea and she delivered a beautiful logo (and more!) that reflects my new brand’s identity. From the initial correspondence to the final product, working with McKenna was a pleasure. I highly recommend her!”
