Sully's Design Studio is the online portfolio of Kimberly Coles. I have an extensive history of designing usable, interactive solutions. I have spent the last several years as a senior level professional in the following areas: advertising, interactive, multimedia, web, and marketing. I have been working as an interactive art director and graphic designer since 1994.
My greatest strength is the ability to understand the specific needs of clients and work with them in partnership to develop customized, content-rich sites that are driven by strong design elements, functionality, and intuitive navigation.

Handmade Jewelry
The artworks in my jewelry depict figures in hues that seem once vivid, and are now faded. I want to transport viewers into a dream-like world where the mythical characters tell ancient tales of enchantment. Perspective and composition evoke Medieval and Renaissance icons. The artworks are created in a wide variety of media; pencil, oil, acrylic, and digital collage.
I am an award-winning designer, illustrator and jewelrymaker. I attended the Savannah College of Art & Design in Georgia on a fine arts scholarship. I have widely exhibited and sold my artworks and jewelry in boutiques, galleries and art shows in the midwest and southeast over the last 20 years. For more information about my handmade jewelry, please visit my etsy store.
