About 

Kevin Kennedy AIA, founding partner of Cluck, formed the company in 2004. Kevin is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and has been practicing architecture and design for over 12 years.

With projects ranging from furniture to full scale urban planning, Kevin’s deliberate approach to design consistently renders beautiful and functional results, regardless of scale or scope. His work has been published and has received numerous design awards.

As a lead designer and project architect for Shook Kelley for over 10 years, Kevin gained experience in many areas including furniture design, retail and storefront design, corporate office, mixed use, and urban planning.

 

Kevin is a licensed architect, and has been a Guest Professor at UNCC, teaching design and methods of digital representation. He also frequently lectures and critiques student work.

In addition to design, Kevin founded "The Spoke Easy", a full service bicycle shop that focuses on commuters and custom builds. The Spoke Easy's goal is to bring the joy back into cycling, one custom bicycle at a time.
