Welcome Trailblazer!

I’m Kelley Kempel, the graphic designer behind Hidden Path Creative. I help product-based businesses create packaging designs that represent their brands to get their products seen and sold!

Spending 20 years designing packaging for private brands at Dick’s Sporting Goods and Kohl’s, I learned a thing or two about standing out on shelf, telling a short story, and connecting with customers. And I want to share this knowledge with the people creating innovative products.
