An alumnus of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, KellyAnne Hanrahan took her degree in painting, applied computers and formed a career in illustration and graphic design for both print and the internet.

Beginning at the Chicago Sun Times, KellyAnne began the pre-press/production side of her career laying out Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Schubert Theatre playbills. While at the Sun Times, she also began to develop her freelance career illustrating posters, tourist products, hotel guide covers and calanders for the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau.

In 1994, the internet seemed the next logical step for a designer and illustrator. KellyAnne moved on to Streams Online Media Development where she created websites, animations and custom graphics for clients like Ameritech, Citibank and Subway Sandwiches.

In 1997, she initiated her own design and illustration studio with clients including Motorola, Brooks Brothers, Bayer Advanced, BP/Arco, Georgia Pacific, Microsoft, The New York Musical Theatre Festival, Jujamcyn Theaters and Corus Bank.

KellyAnne Hanrahan has been featured in the Chicago Tribune, Print magazine, Mademoiselle, Platinum magazine and New City and celebrates over a decade of custom illustration and design at her studio in New York City.
