Shaping ideas that feel, function, and endure.
What I do
Design is more than a discipline. For me, it is a way of understanding life. I have always felt the need to build, to express, and to give form to thought and feeling.
You name it, I’ll learn how to achieve it. Lately, I have been exploring a workflow that incorporates WordPress, Figma, and code to bridge the two.
From strategies to guidelines to implementation, there is nothing more satisfying to me than constructing solutions that accurately represent an entity.
Movement inspires. I continually strive to build kinetic designs that speak for themselves, enhance user experience, and strategically direct attention.
Traditional mediums are where it all began: my study of various communicative forms and my desire to shape ideas that feel, function, and endure.
The story so far
I am Marcus Kelly, a student at Truman State University with a drive for learning and creating meaningful design. I’m eager to explore, express, and begin building a future in a place I can truly call home.

“Am I finally okay with who I am now? I have discovered that recovery is a nonlinear process lived in a quiet grey. Tiptoeing in that greyness is an experience wrought with tension and tenderness. I have lived on two extremes, only to find that both left me fractured. The war still persists. This work is a quiet reflection of where I am now.”
