Howdy! I'm Kelly.

I am an art director, illustrator, animator, graphic designer, and UX/UI designer based in Durham, North Carolina. Professionally, I currently work as the Director of the Design Team at 3C Institute developing various health and wellness programs, services, and applications. I also work as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer.

In my free time I enjoy creating characters and worlds for my own personal story projects and exploring different art materials and styles for mixed media pieces.
