About me

Kelsey is a creative focused on empowering women, driving social change and facing politics head on. Whether it be designing a manifesto for climate change, art directing an accessories shoot to platform an all-female skate collective, illustrating nipples to show that all women's bodies are different and equally beautiful, or making a zine about how to start a subculture in the digital age, Kelsey’s bold inventiveness always stands out. Her recent work at Refinery29 has ranged from the identity for an editorial tentpole week exploring female pleasure, to directing a documentary to spotlight creative women within the music industry. P.s. Thanks Nina Joyce for this description of me!

Full Time
I designed and typeset pages, created my own collages to illustrate features and art directed shoots in keeping with the ELLE brand aesthetic. I had the opportunity to step beyond my role to lead the design of ELLE magazine alongside the Creative Director for four months. This gave me invaluable experience in multitasking and helped to build my management skills, as I was leading a team of freelancers, working on the redesign of the magazine.
