Kelsey Armstrong

Graphic Designer & Creative Marketing Professional

  • They/Them or She/Her

When it comes to the marketing “P’s,” the promotional mix is my area of expertise.

I’ve endeavoured to work with graphic and web design as long as I can remember; I even wrote this as my “dream job” in third grade. My love for design goes way back to elementary and middle school where my hobbies included things like making pixel art, designing brochures for made up companies, coding MySpace templates, and making very gif-heavy websites.

In high school and college I began to focus my hobbies and work in the Marketing and Advertising realm. I graduated in May 2014 from Rider University with a degree to reflect all of these interests, and consequently have been perfecting and expanding these skills for over 10 years.

I started my career in the marketing department of a rapid diagnostics company, all the while getting my feet wet with some side freelancing. In 2017 I took the leap into full-time freelancing, and can’t imagine ever turning back.

Why Me?

A better experience.

I am able to provide you with a personal, unique, and affordable experience that an agency would be hard pressed to compete with.  I am personally committed to delivering stunning results and making every part of the process as efficient and effective as possible.
