Hello folks! My name is Rory McKinnon. I am an award winning designer that specialises in identity design. Originally from Scotland (yes i love Irn-Bru and haggis…), you’ll now find me living in New York. Throughout my short (getting longer) career, I have been fortunate to work around the world, with spells in Qatar, Scotland, and now the States.
As part of my travels, I obtained my masters degree from the prestigious Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Prior to this, I played collegiate soccer for Seton Hill University in pittsburgh whilst completing my undergraduate studies. fast-forward, you will now find me working as a senior designer for Interbrand.
