Meet Kelly, a Sr Designer on our team.

We are celebrating her 5 year work anniversary this month.

From infographics and page layouts to vibrant illustrations, she brings her perfectionism to every project she touches. She also has a calm demeanor and a listen-first approach, which makes her a pleasure to work with.

Outside of work, you can find Kelly snapping photos and exploring the roads less traveled across California.
