About

Design Lead + Creative Direction

resume

I'm Shelby Osbourn (she/her), a graphic designer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the University of Arkansas School of Art. I currently work as a Senior Graphic Artist for the UAMS Institute for Community Health Innovation, where I create clear, engaging materials for healthcare initiatives across Arkansas. Through this work, I creatively support teams and projects focused on improving the health of people who, like me, call the Natural State home.

I love the creative, technical, and logistical sides of design. I enjoy learning new software and figuring out how it works. Whether it's Photoshop, PowerPoint, Squarespace, or a platform I've never even heard of (although I'd gladly never open Captivate again), I like solving complex technical problems just as much as I like making things look good. I’ll probably always be a little bit of a freak about type pairings and color palettes, but ultimately, I care deeply about whether the final outcome is appropriate, accessible, and meaningful to the communities it is meant to reach.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me thrifting, crafting, baking, reading, and indulging in my love for film and television.
