Stick down your style with the illustrator and collaborator known for her playful doodles.
About Kelly
Kelly Ficarra is a Brooklyn-based illustrator. A lifelong creator, her passion for art grew through crafting as a child—by sculpting miniatures out of clay and sewing animals out of felt. Today, she’s found a new preferred style of expression: comics! Kelly uses a dip pen to achieve her *school notebook doodle* aesthetic, as seen throughout her Coachtopia collab. When she’s not drawing, catch Kelly flipping through a 90s fashion magazine in Prospect Park.
“I’ve been a secondhand shopper and garage sale fanatic since I was a kid, so the movement toward repurposing waste at a larger scale is super exciting to me.”
