Hi, I'm Kelly.
I’m an American illustrator & designer who found a renewed love for art while living in Southeast Asia. My mission? To create visual adventures that breathe purpose and hope into our journeys.
Experiences like living abroad, spending time with refugees, hiking through national parks, and traveling to places far different than where I'm from have all shaped the heartbeat of my work. Stories transform the way we see the world, and I believe that visual narratives can foster purpose and humanity in us.
When I’m not illustrating, I love traveling, pourover coffee, exploring the outdoors, cooking international foods, learning languages, and doing life with people.
I love creating in themes of travel, culture, humanitarian efforts, and environmental sustainability for purpose-driven people and brands.
Let’s dream together about your next project!
