In Need of a Freelance Artist and Designer?

Hello! My name is Welley “Kate” Kelley. I am an artist and designer based out of Northern Nevada. Since graduating from the University of California, Davis with a degree in Design, I have been itching to put my skills to good use.

No project is too small, large, complex or unique for me. If you are looking for a hardworking creative with extensive experience in both the digital and analog realms of design, feel free to reach out!

What kind of name is Welley Anyways?

You’ll probably be pleased to hear that “Welley” is not my legal name, and that it is merely a nickname that I tack on alongside my actual name, Kate. The nickname was given to me by my rugby teammates, where we had far too many “Kates” on the team to not cause confusion, and what began as a rugby name has slowly evolved into more.

Now, Welley is how I present myself online and as an artist. What began as a silly nickname has become a core piece to my identity as an artist and a professional.

I am currently open for work, so if you are in need of an artist, graphic designer, website designer, or photographer, please let me know here!

Ideation

An idea is at the core of all creative work. Without vision and imagination, there isn’t even a starting line to a goal. It is through the development and exploration of hundreds of ideas that I am able to approach my projects with confidence and direction.

Process

Ideas are vital, but without process they are merely fantasies to ponder over. Over my years of experience, I have been able to understand when I have left the realm of productive ideation, and when I need to dive into the development and process of an idea, which

Execution

Through process is the execution of an idea. The arrival at the finish line as I like to think of it. After iterating over and over again, and with endless polish, ideas become finished!

Art and Illustration

At heart, I am an artist. I carry that knowledge, experience and passion into every project I do. If you want to see the kind of digital and traditional illustration, I do, or if you would like to consider contacting me for commission, click here.

What I do…

Graphic and Fashion Design

My interest in art at a young age would later evolve into me exploring and studying graphic and fashion design which I would become equally as passionate about. Consider checking out my graphic and web design campaigns as well as my fashion design projects.

Photography

What began as a hobby has morphed into one of my main forms of self expression. I have done countless self portrait series as well as more formal shoots including graduation and business shoots.
