Kelly Anna shows why a successful creative career relies on risk and blind faith

Artist and designer Kelly Anna’s work spans product design, sculpture, activations and collaborations – she even has her own paint colour with Lefranc Bourgeois, and it was an honour to have her return to the stage in London at December’s Nicer Tuesdays. From painting football pitches for Nike to getting “illegal” Women’s World Cup T-shirts shown on Sky Sports, Kelly shared her journey representing female creatives in the design industry as a mother, especially in her design for Rapha’s The Women’s 100 cycling apparel.
