Hello! I’m Kelly Bauernfeind (Benson), a multi-disciplinary Design Director living in Minneapolis. I received my BFA with an emphasis in design and photography from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln which has allowed me to combine my two loves (design + photo art direction) into the career I have today. I love to design for companies that are making a difference in the world — either through the products and services they provide or through being good humans.

I love to laugh. I’ve never met a potato chip I didn’t like. Being outdoors gives me life and my last name is really hard to pronounce — it’s b-ow•earn•find. Nice to meet you! 👋
