Thoughtful & intentional designs made with people in mind.
Hey, I'm Tellie
I’m a multidisciplinary graphic designer and artist based in Colorado. I enjoy working in spaces where collaboration means something. Where people are building toward a shared goal, rather than simply passing files back and forth. To me, the best work comes from asking not just how we solve a problem, but who we’re solving it for and why it deserves our attention in the first place.
I’m interested in design that’s intentional, a little unexpected, and grounded in real thinking. Through collaborative experimentation and a strong sense of craft, I aim to create work that feels thoughtful, useful, and human. I have a soft spot for typography, an ongoing fascination with urban design, and a habit of diving headfirst into whatever new Figma update just dropped.
When I’m not at my laptop, I’m probably outside, indulging in one of my many hobbies, or on the hunt for a new café.

The values
behind my work
Curiosity
I lead with why, not how. Everything I create begins with a purpose, even if that purpose transforms along the way.
Persistence
The fun part often ends long before the solution shows up, but I choose to stick with the problem anyway, until I arrive at a solution.
Craft
I linger on the details that might seem unimportant: the margins, the words, the pause before something loads. It all adds up.
Empathy
I think about the error states, the confused clicks, the person who's already frustrated ,not just the easy or direct path.
