A Note From Ethos Founder
Kelly Schellert
As the Founder, CEO, Editor-in-Chief, and Creative Director of Ethos Design Collective, and Ethos Interactive Omni Channel Media, my journey to this moment has been shaped by a deep passion for storytelling, structure, and design. Ethos began as a personal mission to create a space where creativity could thrive alongside purpose—a platform where the art of design meets the science of psychology to inspire and elevate the lives of designers, realtors, clients, and creators, including the artists and trade brands we've come to know and love.
Design, Aligned and Archetypography, at the heart of our strategy, are a reflection of this vision and my philosophy for Ethos. It’s a design philosophy that connects the timeless wisdom of archetypes with the evocative power of typography, offering a framework for meaningful, purpose-driven creativity and collaboration.
Ethos Interactive Media is a labor of love, meticulously crafted to embody these values and highlight the very talented, vetted, luxury designers and professionals. With every page, every article, and every visually stunning segment introduced by a bold capital letter, we invite you to explore the depth and beauty of archetypography. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, self-improvement, or simply a fresh perspective, you’ll find it here.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, let’s shape a world where design is not only functional but profoundly personal and transformative.
Warmly,
Kelly Schellert
