Kelsey Crane is a design enthusiast with a strong interest in storytelling and creating meaningful connections between users and their environments. Her passion for design began at a young age, when she could often be found painting, drawing, and creating collages. This early love for art continued to grow while she pursued her Associate of Science at Snow College, where she majored in Art. During her academic journey at Utah State University, Kelsey served as an Undergraduate Teaching Fellow for sophomore students, assisting in technical and design skills instruction and encouraging students to develop their personal style. She is currently a designer at HB Workplaces, a COR Company, and plans to continue her professional career there after graduation. Kelsey's work emphasizes biophilic design principles, thoughtful use of natural materials, and a balance between modern and historic references. Through various projects, she explores how light, texture, and craftsmanship shape human experience within the built environment. She is particularly drawn to wood, tactile finishes, and design solutions that feel both grounded and refined, aiming to create spaces that are functional, expressive, and deeply human.
