HELLO! I'm Kelsey!
About MeI am an Oregon-born designer, illustrator, teacher, cat-lover, thrifty-vintage finder and avocado eater living in the PNW {specifically Springfield, Oregon}.
At the core, I consider myself a designer and believe just about anything can become a design project. I especially love problem solving, multi-tasking and productive distractions. For as long as I can remember I grew up making art and working on various creative projects. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and a Master’s degree in Interior Design from the University of Oregon. I worked for several years in architecture before deciding that I wanted to do more (always MORE). So now, I split my time between illustrating, freelance design and teaching at the U of O. I find regular inspiration from animals, plants and minerals (the real and the fantastical), the great Pacific Northwest (and travels away from it), comic books, sci-fi, horror, and mysteries. I adore photoshop, and most of my finished work is digital, though I do lots of pencil sketches and studies and dabble in hand media, such as gouache, watercolor and inks. I like to incorporate handmade textures into my digital work when possible. When I am not drawing, I can be found talking to my cats, tide pooling on the coast, listening to a podcast or getting lost in an antique mall. |
