Biography
Hey There!
I’m Kelly—an Art Director and Designer with 15 years of experience working across architecture, environmental design, packaging, product design, education, and advertising. I hold an MFA in Graphic Design from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and a BFA in Graphic Design from James Madison University, and I’m currently working in the advertising world. I’m interested in strong ideas, thoughtful craft, and the small human details that give work weight. I love concepts that feel a little unexpected, visuals that know when to hold back, and work that’s clear, honest, and a little offbeat.
Outside of design, I’m a serial doodler, a bad-joke teller, and always on the lookout for a great bagel, a new mystery show and a shop full of trinkets.
