I’m Kelly Wirht, a graphic and web designer based in Los Angeles, CA. I have always been interested in design, photography, and computers, so I decided to get my BA in Fine Arts at the University of Southern California. I graduated in 2010, and since then I have been working as a visual designer, with a focus on all things digital – web sites, mobile apps, social media, and digital graphics.
Although most of my projects are digital, I love writing, sketching, and drawing. I use my Rhodia dot pads ALL the time. They’re perfect for wireframing a website or sketching logo concepts. And the dots make them easy to scan in and use in Photoshop as well.
I also used the graph paper pad to learn and practice calligraphy. The thick, high-quality paper absorbs the ink and the lines give extra guidance. Hand lettering and calligraphy add a unique touch to any project. Although we live in an increasingly digital age, I feel it’s important to continue to create and make things by hand.
