Hi, I'm Kel Mariano Pilla, a passionate graphic designer based in Philadelphia. I just recently completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design at Moore College of Art & Design, where I have gained extensive experience in both analog and digital art forms, including printmaking, bookbinding, sculpture, and digital design using the Adobe Creative Suite. I love blending traditional techniques with modern digital tools to create unique and compelling designs. Over the years, I have been fortunate to collaborate and assist in art exhibitions like the 2024 Linda Dubin Garfield Exhibition and actively contribute to community service projects through Art With Heart. I also freelance designing handmade polymer clay jewelry, combining creativity with entrepreneurship. With a strong foundation in both education and hands-on experience, I am eager to contribute my skills and artistic vision to innovative design projects.
