Artist Statement
I pride myself on being authentic in my personality and my creations. As a serial learner, design spiked my curiosity for learning and my craving for creating timeless, clean, professional designs. Being analytical by nature gives me a unique advantage to establish calculated purpose and logic behind the details in everything I produce. I value a strong work ethic and am intrigued by the intangible value that design holds. Striving to be better than the day before, I look to improve my work by staying educated on a variety of topics because knowledge is power.

“The very first time I met Mckenna, I knew she was going to be the epitome of a DWU student. She’s hard-working, compassionate, and a natural leader. These qualities have shown brightly throughout her time here at DWU. Her positive attitude, creativity, and goal-oriented drive can be seen on the track and cross country team, through her work in student ministry, her studies, her work as an ambassador, and in the office of admissions.”
– Fredel Thomas | Vice President of Admissions & Marketing, Dakota Wesleyan University
” Mckenna is an exceptional student of both Digital Media & Design and Mathematics, bringing curiosity, an analytical nature, calculated logic, and a strong work ethic to both pursuits.”
