Hi, I’m Kellie! I am an award-winning art director located in Denver, Colorado who is experienced in brand strategy and creative development.

Starting my career in print production gave me a solid understanding of design basics. My skillset quickly developed in the process, leading me to join the team at the award-winning marketing agency, BBR Creative. My ability to maintain our creative reputation by conceptualizing and executing award-winning work lead to my recognition as Designer of the Year at our local advertising club. During my time as the senior art director, I upheld that standard while also developing brand strategies, collaborating with copywriters and developers, providing creative direction, working with the creative director to shape department functionality, and mentoring our interns.

While known for being thoughtful and strategic, I am also known for my enthusiasm and positive outlook. No matter the challenge, I believe there is always a positive to be found! As shared by a coworker, “Kellie makes it a point to add FUN to her work. She brings a great sense of humor to her team, and it often shows up in her projects.”

Though I was proudly born and raised in South Louisiana, it felt important for my personal and professional growth to experience the world outside of my bubble. So in 2022, I moved to Denver, Colorado! When I’m not working, you can find me exploring the city, planning a costume, or snuggled up with my pets and a good book. And if you find me wandering aimlessly through Target, do me a favor and say, “You don’t need that,” to whatever I have in my hands.
