About

Hi, I’m Kayelynn Kennedy, a freelance illustrator with a passion for creating expressive, character-driven designs that tell a story. I’ve been working independently since 2013, crafting custom artwork for indie animation, publishing, e-commerce merchandise, and social media content. My style ranges from minimalist to whimsical, always aiming to create cohesive and imaginative illustrations that connect with audiences and elevate brand identity.

I love working with clients from diverse backgrounds and adapting my approach to fit different platforms and formats. Whether it’s designing characters for an animation project or developing visuals for e-commerce, I bring creativity, attention to detail, and a collaborative spirit to every project. I’m based in Sacramento, California, and enjoy promoting my work through local art markets and social media.
