Portfolio
Arran McKenna has made a wonderful contribution to the work of the Australia Pacific Security College over the past year. We engage with multiple stakeholders, across a diverse geographic environment as they work on some of the most complex security challenges that the Pacific region has ever faced. In a COVID world, all of these dialogues and workshops are occurring over online platforms. Arran has the capacity to take these exchanges, distill the complexity, and project it back to the participants through attractive graphics. His skills as as a visual communicator are exceptional ... and fast! His graphics have been used in a variety of our reports, and we noticed they are the first place people turn to when reviewing the documents. Arran’s good humour, flexibility and responsiveness when drafts need to be amended to ensure messages are clearly communicated and contextually accurate are greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Arran’s work - it is sure to increase your impact and reach.

What can I say about Arran McKenna except that he is a creative genius. More specifically, he’s a highly skilled graphic illustrator whose passion for what he does shines through his work. He’s detailed-oriented, makes sure that ideas discussed at an event have been captured accurately, while also creative, adding artistic flourishes which really capture the spirit of the conversation as well as the key points. His ability to listen closely and to critically interpret the conversations is clear in his work. His technical skill is rare and attention to detail invaluable. He’s an outstanding creative professional and we love working with him!
