If your brand needs email campaigns that convert or packaging that stands out on the shelf, you've found the right designer!
I'm Kellie — a digital creative director with 25 years of experience and over $200K earned on Upwork. I specialize in email marketing design and strategy (Klaviyo, HTML, CRM) and packaging design (labels, TTB, GS1, USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and FDA compliance) for CPG, food & beverage, health, and DTC brands.
Brands I've partnered with include AG1 (Athletic Greens), AWG Bakery, Honda, Toyota, Applebee's, Vail Resorts, BYLT Apparel, Shady Rays, Noodles & Company, and Highlights for Children — so I know how to work at a high level and deliver creative that performs.
What makes me different: I combine deep design expertise with smart use of AI tools to move faster without sacrificing quality. You get senior-level creative thinking, faster turnaround, and a partner who genuinely cares about your results.
I also offer branding, illustration, print collateral, social media, web design, and motion graphics — so as your needs grow, I can grow with you.
Let's talk about what you're building. I'd love to help.
Cheers!

In a world that is too often over-saturated with flashing pop-up ads or rainbow colored type, it is easy to recognize good design. It is subtle, balanced and harmonious with plenty of breathing room. It does not over-saturate or over-stimulate. It soaks into us, refreshing and inspiring.
Graphic design is my specialty, my passion and my talent. I have worked in the field in print production, pre-press, identity design, print publication and web design. If you are looking for creativity, I am the designer for you. I am a self-motivated, hardworking designer. I always see all of my projects through to completion.
I have worked in the design industry for over 10 years. I have worked in newspaper design, magazine editing, pre-press production, identity design and web design.
I am always looking to take on new projects from web to fine art. If you are looking for a graphic artist, drop me a line!

I assist authors with all stages of the self-publishing process, including editing, proofreading, formatting for KDP and Ingram Spark, and designing or sourcing book covers. I am a lifelong lover of literature and have been working in the publishing industry since I completed high school in 2010. I worked as the lead editor for the hybrid publishing company Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Press from 2016 - 2022 and am currently contracted by multiple publishing consultants and small publishing companies. I do, however, love working one-on-one with authors and businesspeople through Upwork when my schedule permits!
I have over ten years of experience in developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, freelance writing (articles, blogs, how-to guides, educational curriculum, and product descriptions), book cover design, fact-checking, and formatting books and magazines for various publishing platforms. I have edited fiction novels, memoirs, young adult sci-fi/fantasy novels, creative nonfiction, short stories, children's books, biographies, academic papers, and educational texts.
The most common projects I work on are in the personal-development/self-help genres. In 2013, I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder, and in 2015, I obtained my Master of Science degree in Applied Psychology from Trinity College Dublin. I have experience in using multiple style guides, including APA and the Chicago Manual of Style, in both book publishing and academic journal writing.
