About Kelly

 

Dare to be bold! There's no question about it, marketing and design are my passion, and I pour my heart and soul into every project I do.

I am an experienced Director of Marketing and Creative, with a history of graphic and web design. I have worked in the marketing and advertising industry for over 15+ years. Skilled in art direction, strategic thinking, leadership, team collaboration, design, social and digital marketing, front end development, CSS, animation, and much more!

I am a strong marketing and design professional with a Bachelor of Fine Arts - BFA focused in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago.

Currently, I am the Director of Marketing managing and leading the marketing department at a higher ed institution. I have experience leading campaigns, managing projects, a diverse team, clientele and vendors, as well as continuously analyze data to strategically plan for successful marketing efforts, all while meeting quick deadlines.

I love demonstrating my talents and mentoring my team. My desire is to constantly improve techniques, create authentic ideas and to make our work stand apart from the competition – but mostly, to be a part of a project I am proud of. I am very passionate about my career and thrive to be accomplished. My goal is to always lead my team to successful and gain mutual respect during the process.

Now, do you dare to be bold, too? Let’s work together!
