About

Kelsey Badenhop

Hi there! I’m Kelsey, an Art Director based in the Greater Omaha area. I mix art direction, people management, and strategic design leadership to help guide the creative vision of a growing team.

My work focuses on big-picture event branding, environmental experience design, and both print and digital marketing. I partner closely with internal teams and a national network of clients to bring ideas to life through thoughtful strategy and compelling storytelling—all while making sure everything stays on brand across multiple companies.

I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, with a double emphasis in graphic design and photography through the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me baking treats for friends and family, bingeing true crime (books or shows—I’m not picky), boating around lake Okoboji, or organizing literally anything I can get my hands on. And if I’m not doing one of those things, I’m probably hanging out with my two adorable pugs—Herbie and Hedwig.
