Where purpose meets powerful design.
Meet the face behind Studio Kinn—Shell
Three decades of discovery, passion, and my search for authenticity.
Design and creativity aren’t just parts of my life; they’re the rhythm of my soul. My journey into Graphic Design came later in life—a calling that felt like the universe aligning, leading me to a path of purposeful creation.
In this world of fearless creativity, I found a place where I could connect with others on a deeper, more meaningful level. Every project is more than design; it’s an opportunity to bring out the essence of each client’s vision, crafting something authentic and true to who they are.
My approach is simple: to live and design authentically, ensuring that every project I dive into is rooted in purpose and resonates with the people it’s meant to reach.
With Studio Kinn, design is an experience—a way of bringing a vision to life in a way that feels intentional, grounded, and lasting.
Why Kinn?
The Architect of Inspiration: Douglas McKinnon
Shell’s Aunty, Pop, and Mum.
Doug was more than an architect and town planner—he was a grandfather who loved deeply and found endless creativity at his drawing board, crafting visions and dreams into lasting designs.
In every project at Studio Kinn, there’s a reflection of Doug’s creativity—a nod to the quiet joy of translating imagination into something real. Our designs are grounded in purpose, inspired by the sense of connection Doug brought to every project.
Studio Kinn is a continuation of his legacy—a celebration of creativity that’s intentional and filled with meaning. Every detail—from colour choice to concept—is infused with the same passion that fuelled Doug's artistry, honouring his memory and the inspiration he passed down to me.
Studio Kinn is a celebration of creativity, a legacy of inspiration, and a tribute to a remarkable architect whose spirit lives on through me, in everything I do.
