When owner Kelsey Stine began Vela Creative Co. in 2019, the saying “happy people do great work” was instilled in the company's roots. Not only is the internal team of creatives doing what they love, but they are allowing time back in their clients’ schedules to do the same. Wearing a variety of hats when running your own business is inevitable; however, Vela becomes an extension of your team, collaborating with you to meet your goals and provide you with high-quality work.
Born and raised in the Black Hills, Kelsey has always had a heart for helping others grow and seeing her community thrive. Mixing her passion of marketing, design, leadership and fundraising, Kelsey has worked in a variety of industries including nonprofits, media, engineering, and more.
When Kelsey isn’t in her office, she is traveling with her husband Trevor, or simply enjoying a quiet morning curled up with her cats, a cup of coffee, and a book in hand.
