about me.

Kelly McWhinnie

UX & Graphic Designer

As a seasoned professional in the graphic design industry, I have passionately immersed myself in the dynamic world of design and creativity, both here in New Zealand and Australia. My journey has led me through diverse agencies, where I've not only honed my skills as a designer but also assumed leadership roles within teams.

 

My love for 'all things arty' is a driving force behind my commitment to delivering work of the highest standards. Whether collaborating within a team or working solo, I thrive on effective communication and value the power of collaboration.

 

I like to push the envelope within design - constantly experimenting to infuse uniqueness into my artwork.

My dedication to up-skilling and continuous education within the rapidly evolving industry is ongoing ensuring I stay on top of the latest trends and developments.
