About Makenna Wallingford

Oh hey! Didn\'t see you there. My name\'s Makenna (or Kenna, or Mak, or Ken) and I\'m a graphic designer (which you probably know because this information is on the top of the page, and maybe what prompted you to click into my profile in the first place). Creativity is the name of the game, and I strive to use my powers for good. Right now, my powers of craft are dedicated to the Architecture, Infrastructure, and Engineering (A/E/C) industry at HNTB, where I help our teams win project work that directly impacts and improves my own community (like the Link Light Rail extensions and the SR-99 Tunnel through downtown, for starters) and all over the Northwest. When I\'m not at work designing long- and short-form documents, animating killer PowerPoints, or designing event marketing collateral, you can find me doing any other kind of artistic hobby because frankly, I just can\'t get enough of it. For more fun facts, here\'s a link to my portfolio (which hasn\'t been updated in a while. sorry in advance):
