Raised among the sweeping alps of Switzerland and now based in the beautiful Hudson Valley of New York, Kelsey Rauber is a writer, designer, and Creative Director striving to create impact and change through storytelling.
With a strategic and inventive approach to creative leadership, Kelsey provides overarching support in brand management, marketing, communications, event planning, fundraising, and social media.

Kelsey loves all things web and web design. In 2017, she combined my love for lesbian history and javascript and created this lesbian trivia app that has a subplot based on an alternate (fan-fictionalized) version of the movie Carol.
