Design capabilities of Dr Con Kennedy

Capabilities

From big ideas to fine details, I design for clarity, connection and impact. My capabilities span the spectrum of design and communication, from digital experiences to printed reports, brand strategy to packaging, with a focus on narrative to create effective designs. Whether you need a creative which cuts through, an interface that converts, or a brochure that brings numbers to life, I create insight and visual direction to make it happen—working closely with clients to deliver thoughtful, crafted solutions rooted in real-world insights tailored to your audiences, goals and brand. Every assignment is an opportunity to create designs that work beautifully.

Digital Design

I design digital experiences that are as intuitive as they are impactful. Whether you’re building a new website, refining your UX, or launching a new interactive platform, I bring clarity to complex digital environments. My digital design services include website design, user experience design (UX), user interface design (UI), and interaction design (IxD). I craft responsive websites and interactive experiences that balance form and function, while ensuring accessibility, usability and performance. From kiosks to content systems, I help clients manage, evolve and optimise their digital presence for real-world results.

Literature Design

I bring structure and style to corporate literature and communication. From annual reports to shareholder updates and divisional brochures, we design print and digital literature that makes information easy to digest and hard to ignore. Our literature design services cover corporate communications, financial reports, internal documentation, and branded information pieces. With a strong eye for layout, typography and data storytelling, we turn complex content into clear, compelling literature that speaks your brand language and delivers your message.

Promotions

I design promotional materials that grab attention and drive action. Whether it’s a direct mail campaign, product brochure, point-of-sale display or an outdoor campaign, I create promotional assets that help your products and services stand out in competitive markets. My promotional design services include catalogues, sales literature, OOH design, and targeted marketing materials that align with your brand and speak directly to your audience. From strategy to print, I ensure your message lands where it matters.

Marketing

Offering a hands-on, insight-led marketing advisory service, I tailor to the needs of each client. Whether you’re a start-up looking to define your positioning or an established business developing a new strategy, I can help you shape effective marketing plans grounded in research and real-world behaviour. I design marketing strategies, facilitate focus groups, and support internal teams with clear, evidence-based direction. The aim? To make sure your brand connects with the right audience in the right way.

Research

Research is the backbone of my work, informing not just design decisions but also shaping real-world outcomes. I’ve conducted empirical studies, thematic analysis, and data interpretation that have directly influenced government policy and industry standards. My approach combines field and desk research with visual and information design to communicate complex findings. From early-stage exploration to final report writing, I design research methodologies and outputs that are robust, insightful, and actionable.

Design Management

Design isn’t just about creativity, it’s about coordination, delivery and care. I manage design projects from tender submission through to final rollout, keeping an eye on timelines, budgets and dynamics. Whether I’m overseeing supplier procurement, directing an exhibition, or designing confidential documents for high-stakes bids, I bring structure and clarity to complex projects. I’m experienced in tracking multi-stakeholder workflows and keeping creative work on target and on brand.

Branding and Identity Design

I help organisations define who they are and how they want to be seen. Whether you need a new identity from the ground up or a refresh of an existing system, I design with clarity, consistency and longevity in mind. My branding services include logo design, identity systems, brand manuals and strategy development. I work closely with clients to align strategic design with purpose, building identities that are distinctive, functional and built to scale. From start-ups to institutions, I’ve helped brands find their voice and express it with confidence.

Packaging Design

Packaging is your product’s first impression with your customers, and it matters. I design packaging that’s both beautiful and practical, tailored to product, audience and context. From fast-moving consumer goods to premium labels, I’ve worked across a wide range of sectors, including food, drink and retail. My services include structural packaging, label design, and packaging systems for multiple SKUs. I ensure your packaging not only stands out on the shelf but also communicates clearly, complies with regulations, and reinforces your brand.

Design Collaterals

Every piece of collateral is an opportunity to reinforce your brand. I design high-quality printed and digital materials that support communication across all touchpoints, from business cards to brochures, complex forms to custom stationery. Whether it’s a finely tuned financial document or a bold marketing leaflet, I apply attention to detail, hierarchy and usability in every layout. These supporting pieces aren’t just extras; they’re integral to how your brand shows up in the world.
