ABOUT KEIRA

Keira Krenek is the founder of Elementsist, a bespoke branding agency that takes the existing elements of your brand and through a process of transformation creates brands that have the potential to become legacies.

Her background is in fine arts, with a focus on glasswork but the starving artist route was not for her so she went back to school for marketing and branding at 27 where the professors discussed "putting in your time at an agency for a few years working 80 hours a week until you were ready to settle down and have get married." She was already at that point so she figured she would skip that step and venture into starting her own agency. Years later, here they are still going strong.
