Kelvin Parker is a poet, fashion designer, and marketer from Little Rock, Arkansas. He found his way to poetry as a teenager, winning his school district’s annual poetry slam. Poetry is Parker’s avenue for healing, and his poems speak to those that feel forgotten, unimportant, and unheard. The craft of poetry also inspires his career as a fashion designer; he meticulously uses shape and form, color, texture, and patterns for conceptual storytelling.

Parker received his BFA in Fashion and MFA in Luxury and Fashion Management from Savannah College of Art and Design. He has held various product development and marketing positions with some of the world’s leading lifestyle and beauty brands.

Currently, he lives and works in the New York tri-state area.
