EP !94 Adapting to a New Chapter in Charleston with Kelsey Linnartz

Kelsey's Top 5 CliftonStrengths are: Positivity, Strategic, Maximizer, Ideation and Adaptability 

Kelsey Linnartz is the artist and founder of LinnArtzy (yes, the name comes from her last name and a constant compliment, "you're so artsy"). She uses her top 5 strengths of Positivity, Strategic, Maximizer, Ideation, and Adaptability every day as an entrepreneur and creative.

She's a live fashion illustrator who draws guests at parties and brand events—think personalized fashion sketches created on the spot. She's worked with brands like Neiman Marcus, Alice & Olivia, Adobe, Kendra Scott, and a bunch of others, which still feels pretty surreal.

Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, Kelsey studied fashion design at Texas Tech University. She launched LinnArtzy in 2020 when the world needed some extra encouragement. Now she gets to do this full-time, which is honestly a dream.

After almost 5 years in NYC, she recently moved to Charleston, where she now works out of her art studio downtown. Kelsey travels often for events and collaborations. She's all about celebrating the good moments and adding some brightness to the tough ones—mixing fashion illustration with calligraphy and a whole lot of encouragement.
