Martha Kelley

I am a product designer, graphic designer and illustrator with small agency experience working on website design in branding projects and social media advertising.

I moved to NYC in 2008 to pursue a degree in fashion design. After graduation I worked in the fashion industry for five years. I started my transition to product designing in 2015, studying and experimenting whenever I could and took on freelance projects to gain experience. I knew I wanted to use my design skills to create products that empower people and make their lives a little easier.

Currently, I am working towards an MFA in Illustration at nights and on the weekends. I am focused on combining my illustration and design skills to create better products and presentations that reach an audience of visual learners. I believe in the power of visual storytelling to increase comprehension and add joy to digital products.

[Astrological Signs Project 12/12] And that’s a wrap on my interpretation of the Astrological Signs. Thank you for joining me on this journey and stay tuned for printed versions of these coming soon! ♑️ Capricorn Earth sign represented by the Mountain Sea-goat. Their flowers are pansies, ivy flowers, and African violets. Capricorns are responsible, calm, and disciplined. They often show restraint by holding back their feelings, and can be unforgiving and sometimes condescending. However, they make great managers, they enjoy quality craftsmanship, tradition and tend to be successful and have good self-control.
[Astrological Signs Project 11/12] ♐️ Sagittarius Fire sign represented by the Archer. Their flowers are narcissuses and carnations. They are generous and idealistic and often curious. They dislike being constrained and can be very impatient and restless or promise more than they can deliver. They love freedom and being outdoors and tend to be optimistic, adventurous and have a great sense of humor.
[Astrological Signs Project 10/12] ♏️ Scorpio Water sign represented by the Scorpion. Their flowers are chrysanthemums, geraniums, and peonies. Scorpios are brave, passionate, creative, and charismatic. Their stubbornness can be seen as a strength or a weakness, but they are often distrusting, jealous, and secretive. They dislike dishonesty and passivity but tend to be resourceful, honest, and fiercely loyal to their friends and loved ones. 🖤
[Astrological Signs Project 9/12] ♎️ Libra Air sign represented by the Scales. Their flowers are bluebells and hydrangeas. Libras are diplomatic, gracious, peace-lovers. They may avoid confrontation and carry a grudge which can also lead to being indecisive. However, they are great at being cooperative, sharing with others, and are often great hosts and hostesses.
[Astrological Signs Project 8/12] ♍️ Virgo Earth sign represented by the Maiden. Their flowers are morning glory, buttercup, daisies and asters. Virgos are often loyal, hardworking, and practical. They can fall into patterns of perfectionism, shyness, and being overly critical of themselves and others. Virgos tend to enjoy having large groups of friends and are often big on cleanliness and healthy eating.
[Astrological Signs Project 7/12] ♌️ Leo Fire sign represented by the lion. Their flowers are marigold and sunflower. Leos are known for being passionate, generous, and warm-hearted. They can also be arrogant, stubborn, and lazy. Yet, they are often adventurous, humorous, and like the theater and being admired.
[Astrological Signs Project 6/12] ♋️ Cancer Water sign represented by the crab. Their flowers are acanthus, rose, and delphinium. Cancers tend to be highly imaginative, loyal, and tenacious. They may also be moody, insecure, and self-protective. However, they are often creative, they like relaxing in or near water, and can be very persuasive.
[Astrological Signs Project 5/12] . ♊️ Gemini Air sign represented by the twins. Their flowers are lavender and lily of the valley. Gemini tend to be affectionate, gentle, and communicative. However they can be nervous, indecisive, and opinionated. They love having conversations and seemingly random hobbies and often have the ability to learn new things quickly.
