My Friend Mia
My Friend Mia is a journey inside the mind of Abby, a college student who has struggled with eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and anxiety for years. Follow alongside Abby as she takes you back to the places in her childhood where her disorder developed and in her higher education, wherein by studying political philosophy, she finds the tools from an unlikely place to begin a recovery process that is what Immanuel Kant would call an infinite process of gradual approximation.

At 18, Kelly's story "Birth of the Twin Towers" was run on the cover of DOWNTOWN's holiday issue, featuring fashion designer Zac Posen
Fleming worked with valuable documents that the surveyor lent to her, including press releases from 1964 announcing the construction of a World Trade Center, and photographs of the construction site that had never been published before.
Kelly explains a bit about the construction process that took place, and the differences between then and now (in the construction of the Second World Trade Center).

"The Birth of the Twin Towers", DOWNTOWN Magazine
The summer after High School graduation, Kelly interned at DOWNTOWN Magazine, where she pitched a story about the World Trade Center. Interviewing a surveyor on the site of the 1960's Twin Towers construction, she handled valuable documents and never-published photographs. The 2400-word story was run on cover of the holiday issue.
"Two-Facedbook", an analysis of social media
Kelly created this final project for her class on "Social Media", a project used by her professor as an example. By cutting up pieces of text, combining her hand-drawn "memes", hand-written comments, and typed analysis of academic journals, Kelly crafted this collage to demontrate how the use of social media encourages people to engage in a more "staged" form of communication. By layering all of her artifacts and scanning them into a collage, Kelly reveals the disparity between her thoughts and her facebook comments, revealing the ways in which social media helps all users craft an identity.
