Hi! Kelli Here!

Creator of As Made By Kelli, Sacramento, California
Your average Sacamento native: lover of video games, proud rottweiler owner, craft beer extraordinaire.
I have always had knack for being creative, but at a young age all that meant is I was hellbent on never coloring outside of the lines in my BratZ coloring book. Colored pencil for the outline, crayon to fill.
Fast forward to my days at Tuskegee University, in 2013 I started a YouTube channel to archive my college adventures, and found myself behind a camera every day. Eventually, I was taking graduation photos for my classmates.
Although my video editing skills for my channel were improving, I had the HARDEST TIME creating all of those cool thumbnail and end credit graphics that everyone else had. To make a long story short, those thangs were U-G-L-Y.
After enough sulking, I found myself tinkering with Inkscape and GIMP, dove headfirst into the world of graphic design, and fell in love. Now Adobe is my best friend when it’s not crashing on me.
