• Welcome


Hello there!


I'm Mick Kelly. I'm a design consultant. I enjoy getting things done and making work fun - I'm highly motivated, have initiative, consistently reliable and comfortable working as part of a team.

I will work with you to understand why and how people empathise and engage with your brand. To see how we can make it better and get the people who buy from you to continue their business relationship.


About me

I am a team management and visual communication professional with eighteen years experience in commercial and corporate design for online, print, and broadcast media.




I am passionate about

  • Creatively solving problems through pioneering thinking.
  • Creating consensus with key stakeholders for creative direction and design implementation.
  • Achieving results with senior management, project management, marketing, product, design and development teams.
  • The management of direct reports to promote personal development, work health and productivity.
  • Making design a definite contribution to business strategy.
  • Understanding and delivering a great customer experience.
  • Producing positive working relationships, getting things done and making work fun.



My specialities include

  • Achieving delivery to project schedules, quarterly and annual targets.
  • Utilising design to create a positive customer experience.
  • Brand stewardship and custom identity creation.
  • Working with cross functional teams.
  • Asking 'How can we do this better?' to clarify objectives and apply critical analysis.



The tools I use are

  • Adobe Creative Suite for digital content creation.
  • Microsoft Office and SharePoint for documentation and data management.
  • Sticky, Post-It notes and Axure for website wireframing and scoping.
  • Maxon Cinema 4D for 3D modelling and animation.
  • Apple and Microsoft operating systems.



I'm good but don't take my word for it

  • "Mick is a solid designer and team manager with a perpetual "can-do" attitude and brilliant sense of humor and wit.

    In addition to managing the workstacks, deliverables, and professional development for 4 web and print designers, Mick always kept his own sleeves rolled up to design new web and print collateral, develop and maintain email templates, set up, learn, and educate others on SharePoint designs, and help to define and improve new and existing processes.

    A talented visual designer, his work was well received by the customers and senior stakeholders.
    Mick was also adept at understanding technical processes and documentation, and he was proactive about teaching what he had learned to other non-technical designers and marketing managers. This was an enormous value add for the business as it broke down walls between technical and non-technical functional teams and improved overall team efficiency and output."

  • "As VP of Marketing for BT Conferencing Michael worked on my team and supported our Acquisition and Adoption and Retention groups.

    These were globally distributed teams, yet Michael had no problem working across regions and cultures. He was diligent, hard-working, and always did a nice job of translating strategy into the design of the creative without being too transparent"
    Peter Schwartz Senior Director Global Enterprise Marketing and Customer Success at UpToDate

  • "Michael is a joy to work with! He is uniquely talented and creative while maintaining a professionalism and high standard of work. He is unflustered by seemingly impossible deadlines, consistent and a source of leadership for the teams lucky enough to include him as a member."
