In their words

Hey my name is Kavellee but everyone calls me Kav. I am a Graphic Designer and Visual Enthusiast. I am not your everyday graphic designer. I’d like to think I am more of an urban artist of some sort.

01 · On creativity

What does “being creative” mean to you?

Being Creative to me means completely expressing your views in a style of media. Media doesn’t limit to just music, art and fashion.. It expands through anything with a meaning.
02 · On becoming

Can you describe the time when you first realised that creating was something you absolutely had to do?

The first time I knew creating was for me was back in HS where all I did was doodle.. I couldn’t stop.. But it felt good it expressed how I felt at that moment and it helped me better understand text heavy subjects like history. From that moment it came to me that, art and design isn’t just a hobby, it’s a way of life and understanding.
03 · On rituals

What kind of creative patterns, routines or rituals do you have?

I don’t have any creative rituals or anything of the sort but I do find myself observing the creative world and how it progresses day by day.
“ art and design isn’t just a hobby, it’s a way of life and understanding. ”
04 · On favorites

What’s your favorite thing you’ve ever created?

My favorite thing I’ve ever created has been my logo.. It’s my everything my baby it’s me, KAV.. Not only my name but also an acronym for Keep Art Vital. This pretty much just means to never let the creativity end.
05 · On meaning

What are you trying to communicate with your art?

With my art I want to show people that you don’t need to be an artist or anything of that such to be creative.. All you need is a story and a purpose and ambition to push it forward.
06 · On what's next

Which creative medium would you love to pursue but haven’t yet?

I’m not to sure on what creative medium I want to go forward with yet but I know I want to inspire.
07 · On advice

What’s the best advice you ever had about how to be more creative?

The best advice I have gotten to be more creative is to just be you, even when you stray away from your comfort zone don’t ever loose sight of who you are and what your brand is.
