Kelly Clawson is a multidisciplinary creative director based in New York City. She specializes in art direction, photography, design, typography and digital bringing a unique perspective to brands and campaigns.
With over a decade of experience, Kelly has worked with clients in fashion, beauty, direct-to-consumer, food/beverage and tech including brands and studios like Sephora, Urban Outfitters, 160over90 and Sagmeister & Walsh.
A hands-on creative, her work is often playful and surreal with a strong foundation rooted in concept and utility, drawing from a diverse background of design, photography, typography, interactive, sculpture and printmaking.
When not working you'll find her hiking nearby trails, practicing Katonah Yoga theory, acquiring more house plants or planning a trip somewhere lush.
