EM DEANE KELLEY, FOUNDER & LEAD DESIGNER

Designer, Creative and the proud female business owner of Locals Creative. Raised in rural Maine, her love for small towns and spending time outside led her to Truckee, California. Her motto outside of the office is “here for the parking lot beers” and she can be found skiing, mountain biking, hiking and enjoying bluegrass shows alongside friends when she’s not exploring the country from the comfort of her van with her husband and husky mix by her side. 

Our commitment

At Locals Creative, we strive to provide our customers with top tier creative services while using our business as a platform to affect positive change in our community and for the environment. 

Joining 1% for the Planet is our way of committing to using our brand as a way to not only help locals with their businesses, but to protect, restore and advocate for this wonderful place (Truckee, CA) that we call home. Pledging to donate 1% of annual sales to support organizations focused on the environment is something we are proud of and hope to inspire other local businesses to consider. In addition, our #onepercentbetter promise has lead us to become proud Mountain Area Preservation and Protect our Winters Business Members along with a proud member of the Protect Our Winters Creative Alliance.

Designed for nature

Elevate your project impact with our new program, designed for nature. Moving forward, we will donate $100 to an environmental non-profit of your choice for every design intensive, branding and website package booked. Choose from one of our favorites (like Protect Our Winters and Mountain Area Preservation) or select an organization of your choice from the 1% for the Planet Network— your choice, your impact.

Together let’s speak up and protect the places we love most.
