About Kelsey
Let's do something fantastic together
I bring enthusiasm, skills, focus, thoughtfulness, diligence, and a sincere drive to delight your audience.
About Me
I have worked on multiple award-winning sites, balanced complex data with unique task flows for both nonprofits and Fortune 100 clients, and turned complicated research results into actionable insights. I'm an advocate for accessible design and audience-centered solutions, and enjoy the challenge of weaving the unique needs of each project into a seamless result. I am passionate about understanding the audience experience, and balancing those insights with any business needs.
I'm especially interested in the broader arenas of environmental and humanitarian innovation—especially adaptive technologies and prosthetic improvements. I have a passion for biomimicry: adapting nature's designs, perfected over eons (serious iteration!) into sustainable and effective solutions.
