Bio
Kelly is a senior Design & Visual Communication student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Having already earned her associate degree in Graphic Design from Waukesha County Technical College, she is building her conceptual skills on a solid foundation of hands-on, technical training.
Her past internship experience includes enhancing the online presence of an e-commerce company. She is currently interning at a public relations agency in Milwaukee, completing design work for an extensive variety of clients including Meijer, Rare Steakhouse, Nicolet School District, and the City of Glendale.
Meticulous attention to typographic detail is what sets Kelly’s work apart as a designer. Her clean, modern design aesthetic lends itself well to her endeavors and originates from a deeply rooted love of organization and simplicity.
When she’s not designing, she enjoys chasing birds around with her Nikon, attending local concerts, writing scraps of stories, and adding to her growing collection of succulent plants.

Description
Hexa is a mobile app that utilizes creative writing as a means to connect students who share a college campus. It is inspired by the six degrees of separation theory—in which everyone in the world can be connected to each other through six or less steps. Hexa provides users with a variety of writing prompts, allowing six users to sign up for each prompt. Responses are shared within these small groups and added to each individual’s personal notebook, where they can track how many prompts they have responded to, what days they have written on, and which connections they have exchanged written responses with. A built in GPS tracking feature allows users to find and meet up with each other on campus, scanning a code on each other’s phones to swap prompts that they’ve written themselves.
Mission
Hexa serves as a creative outlet that fosters unexpected, meaningful interactions between students who share a college campus.
Vision
Hexa hopes to positively influence the mental health of students on campuses by encouraging creativity and self-expression, creating a heightened sense of engagement, and above all, cultivating strong feelings of interconnectedness.
