Hello there! My name is Kella. I’m a Senior Designer working at Eighty2Degrees design studio. As of 2023, I have five years of professional design experience (and also an additional year of internship experience). My first degree is a B. A. in Mass Communication from Sam Houston State University and my second is a B.F.A. in Visual Communication from the University of Texas at Arlington. Between degrees, I spent five years working in the corporate world.
I am passionate about designing for social good, excellence in design, and being a positive force in my community. I love learning new things, brainstorming great ideas, and working as a team.
Thank you for looking at my work. Let’s connect!
