Kelly was recommended to us by a respected local studio. She was fantastic to work with: communication was easy and she brought ideas to the table that we hadn't considered. I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone who is looking for an efficient, responsive and highly creative motion designer.

Kelly created a really collaborative environment, and helped to simplify and clarify a complex idea.

Agree? We're probably a great fit.

In slack channels, on peer chit chat calls, investing in myself, on collab calls with my delightful clients, recreating & mentoring outside - ski touring, rock climbing, running & hiking 

You can find me

Beating around the bush, living to work, putting health last, not speaking up or asking questions, assumptions, bullsh*t, comparison, band-aid fixes

Not about

Straight talk, short emails
Clarity is kindness, compassion goes a long way, working smarter not harder, doing right for the planet.
