A bit about me...
Hi! I'm Kelly Coleman. I’ve been "chasing the light" since I was a kid—from developing black and white film in a caravan darkroom to spending the last 20 years creating visual education resources.
As the co-founder of PeeKdesigns, I use photography to tell the stories of our world—whether it’s the nuance of animal behaviour, the stages of a plant’s life, or the rich tapestry of Indigenous culture and Australian history. At PeeKdesigns, we weave these images into educational solutions that help people truly "see" their local ecosystems.
I’d love to help you tell your story. Please feel free to reach out, or head over to PeeKdesigns to see our latest projects in action. Click on the links below.
