Kory is a Pennsylvania-based Art Director with expertise in the creative direction and design of diverse brands across all channels. He excels at editorial design, is pretty darn good when it comes to branding and marketing, and just flat-out lives for solving problems. 

He runs Kory Kennedy Design and is currently Art Director for Sojourners magazine, where he handles the art direction and design of the entire book each month…Heavy on the conceptual illustration assignments. 

Over a long and storied career, Kory was Design Director of Entertainment Weekly, Runner’s World, and SPIN magazines. He also held high-profile Art Director roles at Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, People, and Chess Life magazines. Along with traditional publishing work, he was Creative Director for content marketing agency Foundry 360 and Digital Design Lead for the Hearst Enthusiast Group. And for good measure, he is also a scrappy entrepreneur who owned and operated his own BYOB painting party business in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.

Kory graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York, majoring in Communication Design. One summer between semesters, he wrote, directed, produced, and acted in an Off-Off-Broadway performance piece called "Big Cheesecake," complete with originally choreographed dance sequences.

He has received numerous awards from Society of Publication Designers, American Society of Magazine Editors, Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, Type Directors Club, and Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce.
