Hi! I’m Kelly Ernst.
I’m a fourth year student at Ohio University pursuing my Bachelors in Visual Communication with a minor in marketing.
My work is focused primarily on packaging design, branding, art direction, and publication design.
I appreciate and strive to make work that is driven by purpose and intention. Through my experience with projects spanning from marketing campaigns to beverage cans, every decision in my process is made with empathy and care.
When I’m not designing, I’m most likely taking a very long walk, doodling, or searching for new additions to my vinyl collection. Currently, I’m super into Fontaines D.C.’s newest album.
