Kelly Guo



Kelly Guois a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary designer working across graphic design, branding, and digital experiences. She graduated from Boston University with a BFA in Graphic Design and minors in Business and Innovation & Entrepreneurship.

At the heart of her practice is a curiosity about how design can bring people together. Drawing inspiration from cultural traditions, childhood nostalgia, and everyday interactions, she creates playful, thoughtful experiences that invite people to engage, connect, and find joy in the ordinary. Whether building visual identities, designing digital interfaces, or creating interactive experiences, Kelly approaches design as a way to make ideas more accessible, meaningful, and human.

Security Magnet


Branding
2024
Security Magnet is the branding of places that skaters are forbidden to skate, but proceed to do so anyway. Public infrastructure presents challenges to those in the skate community that skate parks do not offer. Security Magnet not only brands these forbidden areas, but also brands the spirit of skate culture: rebelliousness and care-freeness.
