Meet Shelby

Hi there! My name is Shelby Todd. I’m a freelance graphic designer, social media manager, painter, teacher, traveler and dog mom.

For the past decade I’d become very involved in church. Leading women’s bible studies, attending BSF studies and small groups, teaching at church camp, doing christian blogging and more. I found that for the beginning of this journey, which had started in college, a community that wanted to see me grow and support me into adulthood. I also found this meant I was doing christianity the way others saw fit, and not listening to my own inner voice and relationship with God.

The past few years have been different. For any of you out there that have undergone trauma and big life changes, just know that your faith adapts and grows with you and that is OKAY. Your relationship with God is just that - a relationship. It’s something you will need to sit with and listen. I lost my twin brother 2 years ago and that was the biggest wake up call of my life. Seeing his life cut short pushed me to evaluate my own. How was I living? How was I growing and relying on God? Was I at all? I’d spent so many years relying on other christians to tell me I was okay or doing a good job, and I realized it wasn’t their approval I needed…it was His. It’s been a journey personally and I’m here to remind you that whatever you’re going through, you can do it too.

I find my biggest outlet and best way to process is creativity. And that’s why I love to design! I love seeing my clients’ personalities shine through in their businesses and projects! I am grateful to be part of so many journeys by creating graphics for social media, websites, blogs, and more.

Freelance Graphic Design for over 10 years

  • SO many things. Here are a few: invitations, business cards, websites, social media posts, reels, youtube videos, blogs, book covers, banners, flyers and more!

  • Graphic design is more than making something pretty. With my skillset of marketing and design I help clients create a brand style and apply it to all their design needs. Having a consistent look on social media and your website makes your business look more professional, stream lined, and memorable. You want to create brand recognition. This adds credibility to your business.

  • I am happy to start with a consulting call so you can ask all your questions and we can walk through and brainstorm ideas that would best serve your brand!

    I typically suggest starting with a brand guide - make sure your logo, brand colors, fonts, and style are defined so we can stick to it.

    Then I suggest we take a look at your social media and your website to discuss things that are working and things we could improve.

    I am available to provide those services for you, or you are free to implement changes yourself. I’m flexible and here to help!
