About Kiel:
As partner and creative director of Pennybridge, Kiel's curious brain never really switches off — bit like a humming little human hard drive. Renowned for his energetically-graphic, signature Tillman style, Kiel’s skill and passion to create original work has seen him partner with international juggernauts including the likes of Oakley, Corona, General Pants, Disney and Wu Tang Clan.
When it comes to his creative career, he’s had a wild and memorable ride. Early days in a local print shop, moving up the ranks in Billabong garments and diving into start-up mode at Potato Press — every twist and turn along the way has provided valuable professional lessons peppered with some epic times to be had.
Kiel gives back to the Australian creative community by presenting national industry talks alongside hosting hands-on workshops in his local area. He continues to be actively involved in the Australian art scene exhibiting work in well-known galleries across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
