"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style"
– Maya Angelou
Keith A Pinkston II
(He/Him/His)
I’m a multidisciplinary designer and art director based in Maryland with a decade of experience in branding, web, and video. My style is clean, expressive, and rooted in storytelling—bringing together creativity and strategy to craft work that connects with people.
I’ve led high-impact projects across industries, from shaping brand identities and digital experiences to directing video campaigns and large-scale event design. Along the way, I’ve mentored designers, streamlined workflows, and built vendor relationships that deliver both creative excellence and real results.
Beyond execution, I love guiding ideas from concept to launch—whether it’s building a visual identity, elevating a campaign, or creating immersive experiences that leave a lasting impression. I’m also committed to supporting the next generation of creatives through mentorship with AIGA’s SHINE program.
Now, I’m excited to bring my skills and perspective into a senior design role where I can push bold ideas forward, collaborate across teams, and continue making design that inspires and endures.
