About Mariel Kelly:

With more than a decade of experience, both freelance and in-house, I am an illustrator and designer who is enthusiastic about visual communication and authenticity. The most important thing for me is to merge my knowledge and experience with the ideas and ideals of my clients to turn their dreams into things! 

Some of my projects in illustration and graphic design have included direct marketing, annual reports, information design, logo and identity, presentation, product, and book design. I'm passionate about incorporating illustration into my work as much as possible to create materials that carry as much personality artistic integrity as possible. My work has been greatly influenced by time spent in the comics, DIY, and zine scenes, and I try to bring that scrappy, creative, problem solving, ethos with me into my professional practice.
