Kelly Phan

PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN

Kelly Phan is a senior graphic designer getting her BFA in 2022 at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design. Her works consist of bright color palettes, bold typography and flat style illustrations. Kelly always knew she had a love for design, and is glad every day that she followed her heart and pursued it. Kelly’s interests are: crocheting, books, anything Greek myth, and playing with her cat. Her love for animals inspired her senior thesis. It’s a cat cafe called Cranky cat cafe. The cats housed here are all adoptable and saved from being euthanized. The cafe portion pays homage to her culture featuring Vietnamese coffee.

IF THERE WERE NO BARRIERS AND CONSTRAINTS, WHAT PROJECT WOULD YOU WANT TO WORK ON?

I’d really like to take the time and learn screen printing. I love the way they look and think it would be a fun idea to screen print posters with my designs on them.
