Our Story
From Student to Illustrator
In 2019, while studying Animation at Bradley University, Keelan Rodgers was presented with an opportunity that would shape the trajectory of his creative journey. Before finishing his sophomore year, he collaborated with two authors to illustrate children’s books that would go on to be sold on Amazon. Becoming a published illustrator at such an early stage revealed to Keelan the true power of visual storytelling—and its potential to impact lives far beyond the page.
Finding A Purpose
In 2022, after graduating from Bradley University —where he met his wife, Rayna—Keelan set out to use his art as a force for good. That mission came into focus when he began illustrating and animating for Discover Music Discover Life Inc. There, he witnessed firsthand how his work sparked imagination and excitement in others. That creative fire reflected back to him a clear purpose: to inspire, ignite, and empower through art.
United with a new Resolve
Inspired by the life his art could spark in others, Keelan founded Kero Visionary Concepts at the end of 2022—a creative studio built to illuminate untapped ideas and bring them to life. A year later, he married his partner in purpose and in life, Rayna. Together, they now combine their strengths to share meaningful art with as many people as they can reach.
