Hello, I am Kendall Lotto a visual creative, artist, and graphic designer in eastern Wisconsin. I graduated from Concordia University-Wisconsin with a Bachelor of the Arts in Graphic Design. Through this program, I attended courses at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, and have grown so much in my communication skills and professionalism in my work so that I can better tell the story and achieve the goals of my clients.
During my college experience, I completed an internship as the Graphic Design Intern for Baird and learned a lot about working in the industry and handling multiple tasks at a time in programs such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge, Acrobat, and AfterEffects.
To conclude my college career, I studied abroad in Italy, exploring art and design in a new culture to gain different perspectives and beauty. There, I have gained a newfound love for art history and photography, growing in leadership skills as Graphic Design Intern at Hotel degli Orafi, a luxury 4-star hotel in Florence.
After college, I spent a year as a Graphic Designer at the Milwaukee County Zoo where I designed and managed work for numerous clients, communicated directly with print vendors, and worked on digital and print pieces for educational, fundraiser, and promotional events, and created and maintained signage updates on zoo grounds.
Aside from my graphic design work, I have been creating art since I was very young. In eighth grade, I won my first exhibition as a student in the Jack Richeson Create Exhibit in 2016. Since then, I have continually displayed my art in numerous local exhibits such as the Jack Richeson Create Exhibit, the New London Wolf River Art League Midwinter Exhibit, the Waupaca Fine Arts Festival Exhibit, the Scholastic Arts Exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum, and the 15 Year Anniversary Exhibit at the Art Garage in Green Bay, Wisconsin. In many of these, I have received first, second, and third place awards as well as honorable mentions. I have a love for all forms of art and love learning the techniques of different mediums.
In my free time, I love spending time with friends and family, creating personal art projects, and doing freelance projects for other clients.
