介绍
Hey there! My name is Brennan (he/they), friends call me Kenny. I'm a 30-year-old Queer Métis writer and web developer based in Mohkínstsis (Calgary, Alberta) on Treaty 7 territory.
I wear many hats: I'm the founder and lead developer of Berry House, a values-driven studio building fast, accessible JAMstack websites with a dual mission—corporate clients fund pro bono work for marginalized communities. Starting summer 2026, I'll also be the lead instructor of Fireweed Writing School.
I founded Write Club, a creative collective for writers that grew from one person to 100+ members over three years. I've published nine independently-published books and over 200 essays on Medium since 2015, focusing on writing craft, literary criticism, digital culture, and the independent web.
My technical work centers on building content-first, accessible websites using static-site tooling (Eleventy, Astro, Hugo, Jekyll) with a focus on performance, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), and digital autonomy. I believe in owning your data, plain text workflows, and the IndieWeb principles of domain ownership and portability.
I'm always looking to collaborate with hopeless idealists on cool, interesting, and meaningful projects, especially those at the intersection of writing, technology, and community building. Shoot me an email if that sounds like your cup of tea!
