Kenny Eicher’s Summary
I'm a graphic designer. I use the powerful tools of type, color and image to visually communicate.
Over the course of my career I've had the pleasure of designing for many large international clients including Citizen Watch Company, BP/Castrol, Sony Electronics, Miramax Films, Universal Studios, the Independent Film Channel, and the US Army. Large non-profit clients include the Anti-Defamation League and Jeweler's for Children. I've also had the honor to design for many small faith-based organizations across the country.
I studied at Pratt Institute in New York City, graduating with honors in 1998 and holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in the area of Communication Design.
Yes, I'm a Mac. However, I believe that all great ideas start on paper. Therefore, I'm rarely found without my moleskine sketchbook in hand.
Kenny Eicher’s Specialties:
Making the client happy. Every time.
