Murphy is the independent creative practice of Ken Murphy, bringing together original thinking, visual expression, and the enduring significance of identity.
For more than twenty-five years, the practice has explored the relationship between ideas, design, and meaning, creating distinctive identities informed by typography, visual craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of the subjects they represent.
