At Studio Kelby, we exist to thoughtfully make your name and mission recognized. We’d love to work with you!
What We Do
-
We commit to giving each client a unique, authentic voice through visuals that resonate. Every brand has a story, and we’re here to help you tell yours with innovation, clarity, and creativity.
-
We aim to connect deeply with your mission, your audience, and the wider community. Design functions best when it builds bridges, invites exploration, and improves surroundings. The world is our canvas.
-
Extensive experience, extensive impact. With a background in brand identity, UX/UI design, and production, we bring depth and experience to every project. But it’s not just about beautiful design. It’s about creating a lasting, positive impact on your business and the world around you.
How We Do It
-
We don’t just make things look good—we make them make sense. With a deep understanding of brand voice, we uncover the hidden gems that give your identity depth and clarity.
-
Our work is backed by years of real-world experience and a dynamic portfolio that showcases what’s possible when creativity meets intention. Let it spark your vision. We’re ready to build something new with you.
-
We think process matters just as much as product. Our process is thoughtful, edited, and intentional. What you receive is crafted into something we’ll both be proud of. And our collaboration doesn’t end when the project wraps; we’re here for the long haul.
Meet Kelby
Kelby is a Northern Michigan native, a graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University’s Art+Design program, and the creative force behind Studio Kelby. With nearly a decade of experience across agency and freelance work, she brings a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to every project.
A lifelong learner who thrives in dynamic environments, Kelby continually seeks out new ways to create meaningful design solutions while balancing multiple creative roles. Since her formal education, she has built a professional background working as a full-time designer for a marketing agency with national reach, while also building Studio Kelby.
Her professional strengths mirror her personal mission: to invest in people and purpose-driven work. She has continued to develop a deep-rooted passion for elevating others through design and building visual identities that enhance both voice and vision.
When Kelby isn’t designing, she enjoys exploring her tourist town, being involved in her local church, and finding the best foodie spots. Jesus is her everything and being created with the ability to create is the greatest gift. While Michigan will always be home, she’s quick to jump on any travel adventure— her most recent taking her to the unmatched scenery of Iceland!
