When a design comes from someone’s hands, it’s a translation from their heart. No matter where the art ends up, the feeling of hand creation is something undeniably special.

Hello.

I’m Kendall,

I’m an Australian artist and surface designer inspired by life between the south coast of Australia and the equatorial islands of the world. As a lifelong surfer, my work captures the essence of island living, surf culture, and endless summers through sun-washed watercolours and organic hand-drawn motifs. Since beginning my surface design journey in 2013, I have created art that reflects a deep connection to the ocean, and the slow rhythms of a tropical life I occasionally call home.
