Kinneir studied engraving at the Chelsea School of Art from 1935 to 1939. After World War II, he was employed as an exhibition designer by the Central Office of Information. He next worked for the Design Research Unit, & then opened his own practice in 1956. He also taught part-time at the Chelsea School of Art. With colleague Margaret Calvert, he designed many of the road signs used throughout the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies, & British overseas territories. Their system has become a model for modern road signage. The original road sign maquettes (models) produced by Kinneir & Calvert for a presentation to the Ministry of Transport are now held at the St Bride Library.
