Episode 46 - Kelli Hashimoto, Creator of Runnergrams (Custom Digital Art Shop)

Kelli Hashimoto is a Japanese American digital creator and the artist behind the popular custom digital art shop, Runnergrams (on Instagram and Etsy). Kelli specializes in creating animated images of athletes of all backgrounds, as well as tons of fun and whimsical stickers! Most recently, she designed stickers for AAPI heritage month to be included in online order packaging for women’s running apparel brand, Oiselle. Kelli is an avid marathoner and digital marketing professional in her day-to-day life. I am grateful to have connected with her through the custom piece she did for Grounded Podcast. In this episode, Kelli tells us about the inspiration behind her custom running art and her passion for the running community. She shares some of her own personal marathon/road racing stories and reflects on what it means to find your place within your local run scene.   In This Episode: Runnergrams Kelli’s Diverse We Run Feature @PaceOfMe Coaching on Instagram Adrianne Haslet on the Ali on the Run Show Featherstone Nutrition The Healthy Shine: Dietitian for Runners (Starla Garcia) Whitney Port’s YouTube Channel (Laguna Beach Reaction Videos)   Follow Kelli Hashimoto & Runnergrams: Instagram: @runnergrams | @kellinickole Kelli’s Website: https://kellinickole.com/ Runnergrams on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/runnergrams   Follow Grounded Pod: Instagram: @groundedpod Twitter: @groundedpod Facebook: facebook.com/groundedpodwithdinee   Subscribe, Listen, & Review on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Soundcloud | Stitcher Music by Jacob Shije (Santa Clara Pueblo, NM).
