emily kelley | design & illustration

Hi my name is Emily Kelley.

Graphic designer and illustrator from the Philadelphia, PA area.

I was born outside of Philadelphia, and live in a pretty rustic environment with plenty of trees and folk music.

I have a BFA in graphic design from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, and work in the heart of Philadelphia as a full time graphic designer.

Eventually my daily grind at the computer made me miss creating work by hand. So when I got home from work, I stopped pushing pixels and picked up a paintbrush. I fell in love with patterns and simple illustrations, and now I am in the process of teaching myself surface pattern design and hopefully textile design. This is basically my journal on my journey as an artist. Thanks for taking a look!

Cheers
