I make things people can actually hold and put on a wall: illustrated covers and cards, logos and full brand systems, event flyers and banners, posters and signage. Most of it starts as a pencil sketch on real paper, and all of it is built to go to press without surprises. I've been doing this since 2018 for small businesses, independent authors, nonprofits, and a few enterprise clients, and I handle the whole thing myself, from the first rough sketch to coordinating the print run. My work is drawn and built by hand, not auto-traced or generated, which is usually why people come to me in the first place. They want original art with an actual person behind it. Where I spend most of my time: Illustration is the heart of it. I work in graphite and colored pencil as much as Procreate, Photoshop, and Illustrator: character work, nature and landscape scenes, greeting cards, and big story-packed compositions. I also do book covers built to Amazon KDP spec, full wraparound with front, back, and spine. I've produced commercial work at volume too, including 20+ pieces for Roman Atwood's Smile More brand. Brand identity is the other half. I build full systems from zero: logo, colors, type, business cards, collateral. I work it out through research, hand sketches, and real revision rounds, and I coordinate the printing so it doesn't fall apart at the vendor. Prater Landscaping is a good example: logo, letterhead, business cards, tri-fold brochure, yard signs, and vehicle magnets, all coordinated and shipped. On the print side, I do event flyers, tickets, bulletin inserts, retractable banners, yard signs, brochures, and posters. Everything ships CMYK at 150dpi minimum with proper bleed and crop marks, press-ready, and I know how the material behaves, whether it's corrugated plastic, vinyl, or coated poster stock. I designed the Women's Christmas Dinner series for Epiphany Lutheran Church three years running, with a fresh look each year that still felt like the same event. I also build WooCommerce stores and do UX work in Figma. I previously set up an enterprise platform handling $208,445 GMV across 560 purchase orders for a Fortune 500-scale beverage distributor. If you want a designer who draws by hand, delivers files that print right the first time, and stays with the project through production, I'd love to hear what you're working on.

My name is Kelcie, and I'm a freelancer with over ten years of independent experience in both creative content writing and graphic media design. I have earned a five-star rating due to my 100% job-success rate thus far. Send a message or project invite to inquiry about my availability. (Though I'm normally always available. I love my remote work jobs and my clients!) Earlier this year, I self-published my first (ever) nonfiction book on Amazon with KDP and I'm working on my second one, which happens to be a fantasy-fiction novel this time. I'm also a member of the paid partner program on Medium, where I enjoy writing articles about remote work and career options available to those who want to stay at home instead of commuting to work. (My username on Medium is @Kel Morgan, though you can find the link inside my portfolio here on Upwork.) I work best independently while on my computer, alone; but I do not have any issues with communicating, and I work wonderfully with others. Though my main experience falls within my writing and graphic design skills, I do have some knowledge of other useful skills, too. You can find the full list below: - Data Entry - Google Docs/Excel - Adobe Acrobat - KDP Publishing - Marketing Research - Self-Publishing - Proofreading & Editing - Creative Content Writing - Research - Workbook creation - Microsoft Word - Canva - Substack - Copyediting & Line-editing - Timeline Discipline - Communication Skills - Reasonable Prices - Book Cover Design (Both AI and Non-AI Work) - Logo Design (Both AI and Non-AI Work) - Storytelling - Brand Identity - Manuscript Conversions - Book Interior & Exterior Formatting
