Designer
Welcome! I'm Kelly Marie Carletto, a graphic designer and artist based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
My creative journey has been shaped by a lifelong appreciation for art, design, and visual storytelling. With a background in visual merchandising and over 12 years of experience in the outdoor retail industry, I've always been drawn to the way people interact with their surroundings and how thoughtful visual communication can make information more engaging, meaningful, and accessible.
My interest in the arts began with college coursework in painting and art history, eventually leading me to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design from Arizona State University's Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. After taking time away from my career to raise my two daughters, I returned to school to follow my passion for design and turn a longtime creative interest into a new professional path.
I enjoy bringing creativity, organization, and thoughtful problem-solving together to create designs that communicate with purpose and make a lasting impression.
When I'm not working on a creative project, you'll likely find me exploring the Mojave Desert with my family, experimenting in the kitchen, or finding inspiration in the everyday details of life.
Dream it
As a hobby, I continue to make work that brings me joy, even more so that I get to rediscover it with my daughter. I give myself room to draw and paint anything that comes to mind without the constraints of seriousness. I paint and draw things that make me laugh or reflect on a fond memory. As a Las Vegas native, growing up inundated by color and bright lights contrasted with the serene, muted colors of the desert , it has influenced a lot of my design decisions. Bringing order to a visually stimulating world can bring positive change, help others, and make our world more accessible for all.
