Designer, musician, and diver Kenneth "Kennymac" McClintock takes time with family to celebrate a career built on creativity, craftsmanship, and connection.
Dallas-based designer and entrepreneur Kenneth Lee McClintock, known widely as "Kennymac," recently stepped away from business to spend quality time with his family — a pause that reflects the values that have anchored his decades-long career in interior design. Best known as co-founder of Cutting Corners Inc., McClintock has built a reputation in the home decor and decorative fabrics industry while keeping family life at the center of his story.
McClintock's design career began in earnest with the launch of Cutting Corners Fabrics and FabricResource.com in the early 2000s, growing into a multi-location operation across Dallas and Houston. Co-founded with his father, Captain E.A. McClintock, Cutting Corners became known for quality materials and personal service, earning loyalty from interior designers, decorators, and DIY enthusiasts alike. Two of the company's flagship locations continue operating today, a testament to the durability of the business he helped build.
Outside the studio, McClintock is known for a life lived actively — scuba diving, spearfishing, home brewing, and time on the water, often alongside his daughter Kaylee, who was born in Key Largo. His children, Makennon, Kayden, and Kaylee, are frequently described as the center of his life and motivation. "Taking time to step back, explore new horizons, and create lasting memories with family is the ultimate reward," McClintock said. "Life is about passion, whether you're making music, diving deep, or building something meaningful with the people you love."
McClintock's approach to design has long paired an entrepreneurial mindset with a personal touch, shaped by his family's involvement in the business and his own hands-on experience in retail and product development. That same instinct for craftsmanship extends to his personal life, where music, diving, and time outdoors remain constants alongside his professional work.
