Lisa M. Kelsey I am a creative director, designer, image-maker and writer. I have over 25 years of experience in publication design.

I am a creative director and editorial designer who brings enthusiasm and a passionate curiosity to every project. My insatiable appetite for knowledge has lead me to explore the worlds of art, culture, food, politics, science, nature and technology and I have worked on projects involving all of these. I'm equally at home working on collaborations with the top-notch illustrators in my network, in

the studio art directing photo shoots and at my computer putting together knockout layouts and other editorial material.

A fascinating story I worked on for People about an actor who survived an abduction by serial killer John Wayne Gacy decades ago. This quote was really heartbreaking: "I knew I couldn’t anger him. I just had to diffuse the situation and act like everything was okay. That’s the way I had survived as a kid—we learned to lie low during my parents’ rages."

I don't follow the royals (or x-royals) much, but this was such a joyful story to work on. Love all of Meghan's outfits!...

I love designing feature layouts for People magazine, but designing "5 Things We're Talking About" is definitely the most fun for me. Particularly this one—I mean, any page that features both Waffle House and an alien has got to be fun, right?

What a miracle that this man survived! I've learned so much from the team at People magazine about visual storytelling—both from the editors and the art team. This is one of my favorite layouts I've done since I've been there.
