Hello!

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not of human masters.” Colossians 3:23

Kelli Gargan is a product designer by day and aspiring children’s book illustrator by night in Atlanta, GA.

Her passion lies within the visual exploration of storytelling, fusing realistic rendering techniques with vibrant color palettes, playful textures, and endearing characters. Often influenced by her childhood memories, the environment around her, and the characters that shape her world, Kelli's work is designed to spark joy, foster positivity, and provide hope and  encouragement for all who encounter it.

With the pursuit of painting many more inspirational stories, she is an active member of SCBWI, and is currently seeking agency representation for children’s book illustration.

When not creating, she enjoys exploring coffee shops, volunteering with her church, hanging with friends, running, and lounging with her two cats Holly and Jack.

Kelli is currently available for work in publishing, surface and textile design, card design, and other fun illustration opportunities. For any inquiries, please reach out to her at kelli.gargan@gmail.com.
