In My Own Words

https://kelseyraff.com/ I am an agency experienced graphic designer interested in creative opportunities. My experience ranges from third tier automotive, medical, casino and even the creative lead for a small IoT technologies firm. There I got to create identities for in-house inventions and turn them into a marketed product. I was able to gain exposure from all aspects agency roles and the full spectrum of creative responsibilities not only producing work for clients but also executing strategic roll-out marketing campaigns and managing the growth our brands. I have most recently had the pleasure of being a designer for digital media at Nixon Inc.

Work Experience

Nixon, Inc.

2019 – 2020

All of the products have a unique function or ‘easter-eggs’ that I wanted to visually explain in short, easy to consume designs. I used a lot of gif animations and developed diagrams for emails that had a longer impression time. I was able to take over the creative process for all emails and expand conversion rates to the highest of all time. My creativity and speed allowed our department to fulfill sales quotas as well as influence our other media branches.
