Kelli Anderson

Kelli Anderson is a designer and paper engineer whose work operates in the space between conceptual art, graphic design, and tech. Her whimsical books have featured a working paper planetarium, a pop-up pinhole camera, and a paper record player. Whenever she can, she uses humble, lo-fi materials to expose the invisible magic of the world and make abstract concepts "real" and tangible. Kelli's work puts forth the idea that lo-fi, handheld experiences can challenge the notion of tech as an inaccesssible black box.

Her first book, a functional pop-up camera titled, “This Book is a Camera,” was published by the Museum of Modern Art in 2016. Her paper record player invitation, her TED talk, and her work on Tinybop's "The Human Body" are widely-beloved for showcasing the possibility hiding in plain view in our world.
