With a successful career working at agencies including M&C Saatchi, Ogilvy, Channel 4 and AMV BBDO, Kellie found a passion for concept creation “concept is king,” as she likes to put it.

Funny, engaging and concept-led, Kellie’s work is unique and fearless in its deployment of colour and subject, effortlessly merging engaging concepts with a vibrant visual palette. She has carved out a niche that reflects her distinct creative identity with her bold, graphic compositions and playful approach that seamlessly blends the editorial and commercial realms.

Whether working with editorial giants like The Financial Times and The Guardian or collaborating with commercial clients such as Unilever, John Lewis, and the BBC, Kellie thrives on working closely with clients before the shoot, bringing her extensive advertising experience to the creative process.
