I’ve always believed that design is more than aesthetics — it’s an act of translation. It’s the way we turn what we feel into something we can see. Every project I take on begins that way:

a conversation, a connection, a pulse of meaning waiting to take shape.

For me, art has always been both anchor and compass. I’ve followed it from early sketchbooks to business ownership, from quiet creative experiments to branding entire identities. Returning to the Oregon Coast — the place that raised me — felt like completing the circle. Here, surrounded by tide and forest, I found the space to breathe again, to create work that feels alive, honest, and deeply human.

Molly Kelene Designs grew from that rhythm:

…part intuition, part strategy, all heart. I work with thoughtful business owners who want their brand to reflect who they are at their core. Together, we create design that doesn’t just look beautiful, but feels right — lush, grounded, and full of soul.

This is the work that moves me most: helping others see the art in what they’ve built, giving form to the story beneath the surface, and crafting something that feels inevitable — like it was always meant to be.
