Hello! I'm Kelly
I have over ten years of graphic design experience that has given me the ability to work across mediums, identify problems and correct design issues under tight deadlines.
I have in-depth knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Vector Illustrations, Typography, Photoshop, Lightroom and photography. I strive to stay up to date on the best design practices, the latest digital trends, and I am not afraid to learn new programs and applications as needed. I consider myself to be very self-motivated especially with the knowledge and experience of owning my own photography business.
​
At work, I enjoy taking ownership of the design role, and because of this, I am usually put in charge of managing projects from the initial design concept right through to the final product.
