My name is Madeline Kelly and I’m a visual designer.

Originally born and raised outside of Chicago, I spent 12 years in New York prior to making a move to the Netherlands in January 2023. I was inspired to try to build a life overseas after spending
6 months working remotely while traveling in 2022. The world is so big, I want to experience it all!

I worked in magazine design for a few years, laying out editorial pages and art directing photo shoots in NYC. After that, I was in the digital marketing world, where I learned how to create responsive email templates, effective presentations, and compelling social media content.

Now, I am seeking freelance work in Amsterdam. I have experience in communications design, brand expression development, digital and print brand assets, responsive design for desktop and mobile apps, multi-media storytelling campaigns, and the creation of marketing materials, including advertisements and paid social media.

I consider my strength in storytelling: I can pull together a cohesive visual narrative to help achieve your mission in an interesting and effective way. Feel free to reach out to discuss any freelance needs that you may have in mind, whether it’s a one-time project or a longer term engagement.

Likes: crossword puzzles, yoga and fitness, gummy candy, lakes, felt-tip pens, the Syracuse Orange, travel (I went to 6 countries in 2022, ask me about Remote Year!)

I'd love to work together, so shoot me an email at madeline@madelinemkelly.com.
