Kelcey Gray is an Austin, Texas–based graphic designer who spends her time working with words and exploring the possibilities of typography and lettering. She currently teaches design and typography at the School of Design and Creative Technologies at the University of Texas at Austin.
Kelcey received her MFA in Graphic Design at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. Throughout her career, she has won numerous industry awards and her work has been featured in publications like Fast Co., Communication Arts, Under Consideration, Gestalten Books, and "Type on Screen". She has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally—notably, the exhibition of LetterMaker Stencil at the 2017 London Design Festival.
She was once told she was "energetic, but not in that annoying way" by someone who clearly meant well but was not very good a giving compliments. She brings this energy into her own work and hopes to instill this energy for making and creating in others.
