Hello! My name is Kyle (G) Redzinak, founder of KGR Graphics!
Early Aspirations
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and from an early age I loved to draw, design, and build things. Later in high school I found that my interests, talents and passions corresponded a lot with the field of architecture. My work was cut out for me as I chose to pursue higher education – architecture being the clear choice. I finished an architectural Bachelor and Master degree from Washington State University. While at school, each of my projects, assignments, studios and study tours challenged me to sharpen my architectural and graphic design skills. (It took me a few years to learn that white space is your best friend!) It was along this journey of seeking knowledge and refining my aesthetics where I began to fall in love with buildings and their stories.
After graduating, I moved to Seattle, WA where I worked on commercial and retail projects in an architecture office for 5 years. As I gained expertise in the field of architecture, my graphic design skills and interests also grew immensely. However, I could never seem to get enough of my creative side out at work. To supplement, I often found myself making Christmas gifts, making digital graphics and sketching ideas for personal projects. This led to continual refinement of my artistic skills, interests and aesthetic.
KGR Graphics Is Born
In 2018, the firm I worked for had a holiday market and asked for more participants. I happily accepted without having anything in mind of what to sell yet. With some brainstorming, research and mock ups, I decided to make coasters and found a bit of success. Years into making holiday coasters a workplace tradition, a coworker ordered a bunch of custom plant coasters. I found myself becoming interested in plants and all the popular graphics associated with the plant community. I then stumbled upon an eye popping graphic poster called the Horticultural Chart of Houseplants. It didn’t take long before I was thinking to myself how cool it would be to make a similar poster but with buildings. Hence the beginning of KGR Graphics!
Today, after a year of refining my style and artfully representing many buildings, I have expanded beyond coasters and posters. I now offer a wide variety of products including coasters, mugs, phone cases, stationaries and more! I also create custom home portraits for any home or building. I love capturing the beautiful architectural aesthetics and fond personal memories in a simple art piece that can be cherished forever.
I hope you enjoy my work and would love to hear from you! If you have any questions, comments, special orders/requests – please don’t hesitate to contact me!
