Senior Designer Spotlight: Kelsi McCafferty

Name: Kelsi McCafferty
Degree: BA


FS²:  How would you define your personal style and how is it reflected in your work?

Kelsi McCafferty: In terms of personal style, I just wear things that I like. It doesn't matter if it's designer label or thrifted, if I like it I will wear it. I always seem to come back to feminine, but eclectic styles, which is definitely how I design as well. My design aesthetic is print focused with a lot of color and fun surface detailing. Fashion should always be fun and I try to keep my designs charming and a little funky.

FS²: Who is your dream client?

KM: My dream clients would be Gina Rodriguez or Mindy Kaling. Two wonderfully inspirational women that I think would appreciate and rock my prints. 

FS²: What is your coffee/tea order?

KM: Herbal tea with a spoonful of honey.

FS²: Any advice for aspiring designers?

KM: Don't take fashion too seriously. I think that a lot of people get caught up in the supposed fashion "do's" and "don't's" and it inhibits their design process. Not everything has to be dark and stormy. Maybe we can make color the "new black" for a change.
