About Kellie Komorita

Senior Visual Designer at Social Driver

[ON HIATUS]

Hi! I'm Kellie Komorita (she/her) and I'm a strategic thinker with a keen eye for beautifully designed experiences—with heart. I get excited about projects that consider brand, storytelling, and experience (print and/or digital) holistically.

My experience ranges from brand, marketing, and UX design for in-house tech startups, to award-winning branding and packaging agency work for the natural consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, to freelancing and volunteering my event planning, photography, and design skills for grassroots orgs and non-profits.

As someone who has experienced work-related PTSD, I try my best to incorporate trauma-informed care in my mentorship. Telling people what to do isn't really my style. I like to dig into where you’re at, what you want, and the possible avenues to get there.

Just a few topics I'd love to talk about: Branding UX and web design ADHD and design DEI Portfolio reviews Preparing and empowering design interns and junior designers for the workforce Self-advocation in the workplace as a WOC Sustainability and print/digital design Balancing your anti-capitalist views while trying to survive in a capitalist system

I also love just geeking out about design! ☺️ Looking forward to chatting with yall! 💫✨

She has looked over my portfolio and given me tips as well as given me encouragement on projects that I was thinking about starting.
