Kellz is a multidisciplinary creative working across creative direction, design, and visual storytelling at the intersection of gaming, music, and culture. Her work centers on community-first narratives, emotionally driven campaigns, and culturally grounded visual systems that connect audiences to brands and artists in meaningful ways.

With experience leading creative from concept through execution, Kellz blends design, content strategy, and narrative thinking to shape immersive campaigns and visual worlds. Her practice spans creative direction, motion, photography, and video, with a focus on translating identity, emotion, and subculture into cohesive creative direction.

Raised between Singapore and Chengdu and now based in Los Angeles, Kellz draws from a global perspective to inform her work. Her creative journey began with her late grandfather’s camera, sparking a lifelong interest in capturing raw stories. That foundation has since evolved into creative direction and visual work for musicians and artists including Kazuo, Bohan Phoenix, James Arthur, and Amber Liu.
