Handmade in Norway began with one person. The founding member of this ever-growing creative community, Kelly Palencia, is an illustrator and Graphic Designer by trade.

Coming from a creative family, Kelly has always had a passion for all things handmade. Handmade in Norway was founded out of a desire to connect with other creatives.

Kelly illustrates almost exclusively in Adobe Illustrator these days. But would also be very comfortable with a paintbrush and canvas.
