Chelsey Farris is a Creative Director with a passion for crafting captivating and scalable brand experiences through illustration-led design. With over a decade of in-house experience, she excels at expanding brands' visual language in imaginative ways. Chelsey’s work often exudes a vibrant, punchy, and playful aesthetic that resonates deeply with audiences. Her recent designs for the 2024 US Open Tennis Championship were featured on the TODAY Show, CBS Mornings, Real Simple, Show Me Mizzou, and Billie Jean King's social media. 

Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, Chelsey finds joy in life’s simple pleasures like a fried potato dish, a sour beer on a hot day, themed parties, hiking, starting the dance floor, coffee at all hours, fitness, fancy cocktails, traveling, and eating her weight in pizza.

Known as a "hype girl" in some circles, Chelsey’s enthusiasm for design creates a positive and innovative experience for her clients.

“Chelsey is a thoughtful, attentive, and innovative designer who has a knack for turning random ideas into works of art. I’ve contracted Chelsey for both personal and professional projects because of her high-quality work, exceptional skills, and promptness. Chelsey is my first referral when someone needs a designer and is my constant go-to! ”
— Phillip Campbell, St. Louis Community College Meramec
