Hey There, I'm Kelly

Studio Sagittarius is my personal brand, creative outlet, lifestyle blog, product line, capsule collection, design gallery, catalog, consulting services, passion project ... and whatever else I dream up next. It's a place where I create, explore, curate, innovate, discuss, examine and share, amongst other things. It's been with me for as long as I can remember, evolving and growing - learning and gaining confidence, and now I'm excited to share it with you!

I launched this website in early 2024 with the intention to sell product capsules that I designed and created, but have struggled to find something I could really get behind. It's not a lack of creativity - more of a search for purpose - I mean, who needs another "thing", right?

While I'm figuring that out, I figured I'd use this as a space to showcase my portfolio of work, with the ability to connect on future projects with brands, businesses, artists and innovators that will hopefully lead to some exciting collaborations.

So, with that, welcome! Let's get started on something amazing!

Recommendations

  • Leadership

    Having the opportunity to work with someone of Kelly's caliber and experience was nothing short of amazing. With her vast knowledge and keen leadership attributes, I very much looked up to her. Kelly was quickly tasked with some very hard product development goals; all of which she met. Kelly's talent and ability to know and forecast market trends was always extremely impressive and furthermore aided in our success. Throughout the company, she would challenge our thinking, encourage and empower; motivating the entire company to soar to our full potential. Kelly encouraged her team, listened intently to employee feedback, championed innovation and overall completely enhanced our business as well as our culture. Kelly was a remarkable leader and mentor. I, very much, appreciate the opportunity to learn from Kelly and hope to someday work along side of her again in the future.

  • Expertise

    Kelly is a true professional in the design industry. She understands the customer she is designing for perfectly. In my time working in the same design group for Abercrombie and Fitch with Kelly, she was passionate about her area, very involved, extremely creative and a great team player. Kelly is exceptionally driven and is a natural leader. Kelly is able to juggle all facets of running the Hollister Graphics Design Team very well, from designing to managing. I would certainly recommend her as a design leader or would be happy to work with her on a team again.
