Meet Kilby Anthony

I listen, create, and elevate experiences.

I help businesses, schools, and lifestyle brands get seen and felt. My work moves across marketing, design, and event elevation — from funeral planning and remembrance programs to graphic design, beauty, and lifestyle projects. I’ve built brands, produced publications, and created experiences that connect deeply with people.

Whether it’s a publication, a campaign, or a meaningful event, I bring creativity and structure to make it stand out and leave a lasting impact.

Credentials & Experience

Being creative is my unique gift and talent that makes me special. With years of cultivation, hands-on experiences, and education, I have gained invaluable knowledge that allows me to express the gift of creativity. I continuously learn from each opportunity and opposition, which has allowed me to masterfully work and navigate in many industries and with all kinds of people.

I find inspiration in the world around me and from the perspectives of others' visions, ideas, or strategies.
