More thoughtful,
more human.
I started Kempen Design because I kept seeing the same thing: good companies trying to grow with disorganized branding, outdated systems, and designers who vanish after handoff. That’s not how I work. I’m here to help your team create the clarity, structure, and visual identity you need to grow with confidence and enjoy the journey.
MyValues
Real art, real solutions.
No junky AI shortcuts. I specialize in unique designs, handcrafted visuals and scalable brand systems.
Clarity comes first.
I dedicate time and attention to understanding your goals, to make sure you actually need what you’re asking for.
Structure that scales.
Everything I deliver for your brand is well-documented, functional and designed to grow with you.
Training is included.
I don’t disappear after asset delivery. It’s my job to empower your teams to own your new brand materials with confidence.
Hey, I'm Tony. I love art, creativity, technology, and learning cool new stuff.
From my lifelong interest in architecture to my brief career as a chef to my formal (and informal) art training, I'm always interested in trying or learning something new. Living in a suburb of Vancouver, Canada, presents heaps of opportunities — when I'm not kayaking, gardening, cycling or plein air sketching by day, I'm taking watercolour courses, practicing matte painting, and creating animations for film projects by night.
I'm originally from Adelaide, South Australia (Carn the Pear!) but moved to Calgary in 2006 and to Vancouver in 2015 with my wife and our cute, grumpy tabby cat. I'm a natural night owl (don't be surprised to see 1:00am edits on the Miro board) and a major science fiction fan with a ranked list of best movie spaceships.

My brand and design systems are infused with 30 years of weirdly diverse art experience
I love when I can bring my artistic and architectural style to clients' logos, icons, typography, illustrations and design materials. With a deep understanding of your brand's audience and goals, I can bring inspiration from geometric Bauhaus-style graphics, watercolour and acrylic painting, advanced typography principles, intricate pen and ink sketching, and digital illustrations steeped in meaningful context. Fiverr could never.
Start with a discovery call.
Before we start your branding journey, let’s work together to map the terrain. Schedule a free discovery meeting with me, where I can learn more about your brand goals and current assets. Together, we can develop an initial project blueprint, estimate a timeline, and sketch some ideas on visual direction — then, if you like what you see, we can create a formal project plan.
