Kelly Wahlstrom is a San Francisco-based graphic designer and creative director specializing in brand building, identity, illustration, art direction, and visual design. 

As a former dancer trained in ballet, jazz, and musical theater, Kelly began her design career on the agency side and recently transitioned to managing a creative team at a series c start-up, directing visual creative with a multi-million dollar marketing budget. 

Inspired by the diverse beauty of her native Bay Area, her love of music and movement, and the joy of being a mama to her two young boys, her work embodies a playful energy that is at once evocative and compelling, resulting in vibrant brands that gain lasting affection with their audience. 

Her work has been recognized by Communication Arts, Type Directors Club, The Dieline, Parent's Choice, The Finnys, and the Academy of Art University, San Francisco.

When she isn’t designing she’s probably either doing yoga, drinking coffee, going for a walk, baking, embarrassing her boys by singing loudly in the car, gardening with her husband, or lazing in the sun with their cat, Simon.
