# Kenzie Elston
*Artist and graphic designer*

Kenzie Kae Elston is a lifelong creative, having grown up immersed in the world of design. As the daughter of a graphic designer, some of her earliest memories involve crafting with her mother Lori Siebert, turning her childhood drawings into physical dolls, and collaborating on doodle-filled stories. This creative upbringing inspired Kenzie to pursue a degree in graphic design from the University of Cincinnati’s renowned DAAP program.After graduation, Kenzie began her career at a branding agency, where her love for pattern and illustration found a home in projects for iconic Procter & Gamble brands like Pampers and Always. After five years, her heart led her to join her family’s business, Olika Studios, where she now works closely with her mother. At Olika, Kenzie contributes her signature whimsical style to a variety of projects, including art licensing for gift, home decor, and stationery companies. Her designs are known for their bright colors, playful patterns, and floral motifs, which have gained her recognition in the art licensing industry.Beyond her work, Kenzie’s creative spirit spills into her personal life. She is an avid collector of antique tchotchkes, sketchbooks, and novels, and finds joy in curating inspiration from the world around her. She treasures spending time with her two young sons, embracing daily dance parties and fun-filled moments of creativity at home. Kenzie believes in the power of simple joys, like a chocolate sundae with rainbow sprinkles, to brighten any day. Her journey is one of passion, family, and a love for the whimsical.To follow Kenzie's artistic journey, check her out at @snippetsofwhimsy and on her website.
