Case Study:

Kelly
Schairer

As indicated by the giant text, my name is Kelly.

Thanks for checking out my portfolio. Here are a few sentences about me for your perusal.

Bio

My cerebral, strategic approach to the product space is fueled by my interest in the pleasures (and pitfalls) of interacting with the world through a screen.

I am a resident of Brooklyn, New York and have been living in New York City for the last 14 years.

Strengths

Writing, Editing, and Prompting

I enjoy the challenge of verbalizing and fine-tuning concepts that are hard to put into words and then giving it another pass to get the messaging just right.

Feedback and Iteration

I am a highly receptive collector and applier of feedback on design projects. I pride myself on my ability to have productive conversations with customers, leadership, my own teams, and beyond to bridge the gap from a first draft to final version.

The Fine Details

Though I’ve shipped plenty of designs from the ground up, I’m also comfortable jumping in to consult on nearly-done or already-launched products to identify low-lift tweaks that create maximum visual impact

Public Speaking

I am a seasoned public speaker who can present ideas with confidence, no matter the stakes.

Interests

In my free time, I enjoy aerial dance and fitness, doing high-concept amateur nail art, and engaging in lowbrow cultural criticism (thinking too deeply about reality tv).

I also enjoy retro, early-2000s graphic and web design elements harkening back to a simpler internet, and love to reference it in my personal projects. You may have have figured out while scrolling through this portfolio.
