Love Where You Live
Sep. 10, 2019
Bryan Lisbona is a native Kansan who has always had a deep love for his home state. After graduating from college with a focus in design studies, he noticed the growing local trend of promoting Kansas City products and apparel. It had moved beyond the local college and national sports teams to Kansas City itself. Kansas City, Missouri that is. As a Kansas kid, he wanted to promote the stories, images and history from the Kansas side of KC. He wanted to do his part, leveraging his skills and talents, to build champions for Kansas. He and his long time business partner and cousin, Toby Kuhn, launched Kinfolk Created. More about Kinfolk Created - https://kinfolkcreated.com Kinfolk was born with a proud creative lineage. Cousins Bryan Lisbona and Toby Kuhn spent years in their father’s design firms learning at a young age the importance of hard work and collaboration. That history inspired them to pursue a career in visual communication. Their Midwest work ethic and personal attention to every relationship is a family tradition. And in this family, design runs deep.
