Thoughtful & intentional designs made with people in mind.
Hello! My name is Tellie.
I’m a multidisciplinary graphic designer, artist and I enjoy working where collaboration actually means something. Where people are building toward a shared goal, not just simply passing files back and forth. To me, the best work comes from asking not just how we solve a problem, but who we’re solving it for and why it deserves our attention in the first place.
I’m interested in design that’s intentional, a little unexpected, and grounded in real thinking. Through collaborative experimentation and a strong sense of craft, I aim to create work that feels thoughtful, useful, and human. I have a soft spot for typography, an ongoing fascination with public transportation systems, and a habit of diving headfirst into whatever new Figma update just dropped.
When I’m not at my laptop, I’m probably outside, on the hunt for a great café, or just generally determining how to have the best time wherever I am.

The values
behind my work
Curiosity
I lead with why, not how. Everything I create begins with a purpose, even if that purpose transforms along the way.
Persistence
The fun part of ends long before the solution shows up, but I choose to stick with the problem anyway, until I arrive at a solution.
Craft
I linger on the details that may seem unimportant but the margins, the words, the pause before something loads. It all adds up.
Empathy
I think about the error states, the confused clicks, the person who's already frustrated not just the easy or direct path.
