I'm Kenny Pillipow, Canmore's resident future-designer and occasional space explorer (in my head, at least).

Ever since I can remember, I've had a knack for creating things, often diving headfirst into the unknown—figuratively and literally. I firmly believe life really kicks off where comfort zones end. To grasp the essence of life and achievement, one must venture beyond the familiar, even if it means leaping out of a 40-foot tree with a motorcycle helmet (Spoiler: Orbit not achieved).

As a kid, suburbia was my playground, though it was as safe as a padded room. My imagination was my only escape hatch from this bubble of safety. Things got real in my late teens when I took up diving, discovering that adventure wasn't just a word in storybooks. College was a whirlwind of computer science, yoga, breath control, and crowdfunding interplanetary jaunts (well, at least in our imaginations). I even dabbled in teaching paddle boarding, turning the serene lakes and rivers of Saskatchewan into my personal adventure park.

After college, I traded flat lands for the Rockies and embarked on a new quest, still glued to computers and finally cracking the enigma of the command line (turns out, it wasn’t a secret code to another universe).

Today, I'm the proud co-founder of Analog'Digital, an agency that's all about doing things differently. Think of us as the square pegs refusing to fit into round holes, constantly pushing the envelope, sometimes even mailing it to Mars just for kicks.
