Hi, I'm Kelly.
I'm a senior experience designer based in NYC. I've spent the better part of the last decade in agency life, learning the ropes and making an impact on clients' lives. My aim is to build trust, connect people, inspire action, drive inclusivity and innovation, and spark moments of delight.










Outside of work, I enjoy taking on freelance illustration projects, figure drawing, mahjong, rock climbing, ice skating, piano, and paddleboarding. I'm not necessarily great at any of them, but I do like a good challenge.
I've worked with
