What Clients & Collaborators Say:
I’ve been lucky to work with visionary brands and teams who value creative leadership, collaboration, and forward-thinking execution. Here’s what a few have shared about working together:
“Kerry, thank you for everything you've done for Barry's and me. Love love love your work. I can't wait to see what lies ahead for you.“
“I can't recommend Kerry enough. Professionally, she's a thoughtful and detailed designer, always intentional and adept at translating client asks into polished art. Her aesthetic is clean, modern, and sophisticated, but Kerry's not one to rest content on what she knows, instead always pushing herself and her art one step further. Personally, she's just a lovely human being to be around: kind, considerate, a consummate team player whose quiet demeanor belies a wicked sense of humor.“
“I have had the pleasure of working closely with Kerry Kuwata, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional Art Director who brings a unique blend of creativity, kindness, and unparalleled conceptual thinking to the table. Kerry has a remarkable ability to transform abstract ideas into visually stunning and impactful designs. Her creative vision goes beyond the ordinary, consistently delivering impactful work. What sets her apart is not just her talent but also her kindness and approachability. She fosters a collaborative and inclusive environment, making everyone feel heard and valued. Kerry's positive attitude and willingness to support her team create a work atmosphere that is not only productive but also enjoyable. One of the things I appreciate most about Kerry is her ability to infuse humor and joy into our work. Despite the demands of our projects, Kerry manages to keep the atmosphere light and fun. I find myself laughing and genuinely enjoying the creative process when working alongside her. Kerry is not just an Art Director; she is a visionary leader who elevates every project she touches. Her combination of creativity, kindness, and a fantastic sense of humor make her a joy to work with. I feel fortunate to have Kerry as a colleague, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a talented and collaborative Art Director.“
“Self-starter who breaks down creative briefs from a high-level before diving in to a nitty gritty solution? Check. Working with Kerry at Ayzenberg was a fantastic experience. Aside from her ability to execute day-to-day creative on time and at a high level, I could always count on her to go the extra mile, to try and learn that new skill, to do whatever it took to make the work better. We worked together for almost two years, multiple big campaigns, and several new product launches. She dealt with it all in stride, giving us glimpses of her incredible sense of humor along the way. Best of luck Kerry!“
“High recommendation for Kerry. Kerry is one of the most highly trained and naturally talented designers that I have ever worked with. Her work is very clean and detailed. One thing, of many, that makes Kerry's work excellent is her holistic approach while maintaining detailed echos of any design she creates. On a personality note, Kerry is very positive, fun, and an optimist. I miss working with such a talented professional like Kerry.“
“Kerry is hands-down the most talented Art Director and designer I know. She is an active listener and delivers work that truly speaks to her clients' wants and needs, and overall she has excellent people and communication skills. Everyone Kerry works with feels like they are working on elevated projects once she is in the mix. She has completed hundreds of design projects, on-time and on-budget. Her teams love working with her, and she is an excellent manager. Her attention to detail is impeccable, she is well-organized, and exceptional at creating well-conceived design themes around loosely defined specifications. Additionally, she ensures consistency across multiple platforms for the brands she works with. Kerry is warm, thoughtful, dependable, and insanely talented. I would recommend her to anyone.“
“Kerry has serious chops! Give her a design project and watch the magic unfold.“
“Kerry is one of the hardest working employees I have ever had. She always goes above and beyond to get the job done. I am beyond grateful to have had her as an employee because it made my teams stronger and her presence just created a positive work environment. I highly recommend her - she would be a great asset to any company.“
“I have been fortunate to work on a very talented creative team at Wondros with Kerry for the last four years. Kerry is one of our leading art directors/designers—and for good reason. Her attention to detail is unmatched and her ability to solve difficult client problems with stunning designs is inspiring. As a writer, I appreciate Kerry's ability to bring any story or concept to life with beautiful visual work. When a high profile project is needed for a Wondros client, Kerry is nearly always selected for her creative ideas, her ability to remain calm under a lot of pressure, and her flexibility for changes when responding to client feedback. Perhaps most importantly, Kerry's kindness and empathetic approach to collaborating with everyone on a project is welcomed. She is a listener who will respectfully share her thoughts on making a great project even better. There is a clear reason why Wondros leaders choose Kerry for some of our biggest internal branding projects. No matter where my career takes me, I would ask Kerry to join my creative team because of her incredible talent, leadership, and ability to stay grounded in times of chaos. Kerry would make a fantastic addition to any creative team.“
“During my time at Wondros, I had the opportunity to witness Kerry Kuwata's leadership grow firsthand. Her dedication and talent were truly inspiring. In our regular creative check-ins, I always looked forward to hearing Kerry's updates. She had a remarkable way of presenting her team's projects with such passion and clarity, offering a glimpse into the innovative and high-quality work they were producing. Kerry's ability to lead a team while maintaining such a high standard of creative excellence is a testament to her talent. She is an exceptional professional, and a better human being and any team would be lucky to have her.“
