KELSO DESIGN STUDIO

About Me

My name is Kelsey Manlove, but most everyone calls me Kelso. I'm a Graphic Designer and Photographer based out of Springfield, Missouri. I am currently employed through MD-Kinney, an Ingersoll Rand/Gardner Denver company as a Branding Lead. I currently oversee vacuum and blower product lines including MD-Kinney, Elmo Rietschle, Robuschi, Gardner Denver, NASH, Hoffman & Lamson, and Paragon within the North American region. I spend most of my days bouncing between graphic design, photography, website development, social media management, email/advertising campaigns, trade show planning, and just about anything involving our brand logos!

 

Even though I have a full-time career, I do enjoy looking for new and challenging freelance projects, whether they be graphics-related, photography and video shoots, or projects that require a more hands-on approach for understanding goals and end deliverables. Throughout my portfolio, there is a mixture of freelance and career-based work.

 

While I am not sitting behind a desk or feverishly clicking a mouse or shutter button, I enjoy adventuring around the outdoors with my husband Ben. Hiking, camping, paddle boarding, and gardening are a few of my favorite activities. I'm the parent of two furry, four-legged beasts, Hades the fluffy black cat and Apollo the Beagle/Aussie mix. There will be a few pictures of my critters in my photography collection though.

 

Thanks for stopping by to take the time to gander and learn a little bit about what makes me tick. If you see anything you like, want to collaborate, or simply want to say hi, feel free to contact me with any inquiries! I would be more than happy to chat with you!
