From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the world of creation—whether through art, design, crafts, or home projects. My creative journey began in high school art classes and flourished at Creative Center Art College, where I ventured into the digital realm of art. That experience was a game-changer for me, and I discovered my true passion.

After graduating in 2003, I launched Kelly Laine Design (KLD) as a freelance endeavor, realizing my hobby could evolve into a fulfilling career. Knowing it wouldn’t be a full-time venture right away, I embraced a couple of internships. My first stop was Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo, where I learned the ins and outs of an art department—and even had the unique experience of painting exhibits next to a gorilla named Rosie! I then took on a corporate internship in downtown Omaha, climbing the ranks from graphic design intern to Lead Graphic and Web Designer over a rewarding 17-year span.

In 2020, when the world seemed to pause, I decided it was the perfect moment to elevate KLD into a full-time, standalone business. This shift allowed me to work from home and spend more quality time with my family—a decision I only wish I had made sooner. I’m passionate about helping clients create brands, designs, and websites that truly stand out in a crowded marketplace.

When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me cheering on my kids at their sporting events, tackling a home or craft project, or simply unwinding with a good Netflix series. I’m incredibly grateful for my supportive husband, who helps keep balance in my busy (and creative) life.
