About
the studio
well hello there
I’m Shelby, a color-loving designer livin’ & sketchin’ somewhere between Austin, TX, and Bozeman, MT.You may have stumbled upon my work through one of my vibrant doodles on Instagram or perhaps we crossed paths at a live concert. In any case, I'm delighted that you're here!
“How can I describe my life to you? I think a lot, listen to music. I’m fond of flowers.”
Susan Sontag
For over a decade, I’ve been immersed in the creative world, journeying from Montana to Seattle before finally settling in Austin. Along the way, I’ve had the pleasure of creating all kinds of stuff for some really cool folks.
My artistry is fueled by an obsession with a great story, a dash of whimsy, and the joy of crafting beautiful yet thoughtful things. These elements guide me through every project, letting me design with curiosity, empathy, and just the right amount of sparkle—creating work that surprises and delights. For me, design has always been that sweet spot where all my favorite things collide—fine art, heart-skipping colors, drawing, vintage charm, fashion, and experiencing the magic of a perfectly curated moment
Looking back, when I was happily jazzing up my friends' Myspace pages in high school, it was obvious what I was meant to do. That same buzz still drives me today as I bring your vision to life—whether it’s crafting a standout brand identity or illustrating something totally one-of-a-kind. My aim is to create work that doesn’t just catch your eye but leaves a lasting impression, resonating on a deeper level.
