Hey, I'm Chels! I'm a multidisciplinary designer and artist based in Chicago, IL - although I'm currently driving across the country with my dog, Kaiju.

I have a passion for storytelling, creativity, and building thoughtful digital experiences. With experience across UX/UI, branding, web, and visual design, I bring a unique blend of artistic intuition and systems thinking to my work.

I'm naturally drawn to projects that explore emotion, interaction, and identity, creating experiences that not only function well, but feel meaningful and engaging. My approach combines experimentation, curiosity, and adaptability, allowing me to move fluidly between strategy, visual design, and user experience.

Known for being collaborative, empathetic, and highly creative, I enjoy solving problems through design while continuously exploring new tools, technologies, and ways of thinking. I'm especially interested in creative technology, media, and experience-driven brands that value innovation, inclusivity, and human-centered design.
