The Freelancers: “Be yourself for as long as you can!” Kelsey Bryden shares her offbeat approach

In our interview series, The Freelancers, we dive into the challenging world of self-employment; discussing the highs, lows, and day-to-day requirements of freelancing at different design studios and brands as a career choice. For the fourteenth entry in the series, we had the chance to talk to Kelsey Bryden about her creative beginnings, her bold and authentic design philosophy, and why she cherishes opportunities to create and innovate. A freelance art director and designer based in Los Angeles, Bryden is known for her fun, colour-infused work characterised by play and humour. With experience at companies like Pinterest and SoulCycle, Bryden has refined her craft through a strong conceptual focus and vibrant energy, seasoned with a touch of eccentricity – mirroring the dynamic and buzzing city around her. PT: Hey Kelsey! Lovely to chat with you. How’s things? KB: They’re good, right now I’m on my summer pilgrimage back to New York so it’s nice to have a change of scenery. Thanks for asking!
