Kelsey Necowitz shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Kelsey, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
I would say energy is the most important. With the right energy, your mind is more capable of absorbing information and think clearly, which naturally enhances intelligence. Energy also fuels motivation and perseverance, making it less likely for someone to take shortcuts, allowing them to act with integrity and consistency.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi! I’m Kelsey Necowitz, a CGI artist specializing in high-end product visualization. I’ve had the opportunity to create dynamic visuals for global brands including Adidas, Brooks, Amazon, Hoover, and Dirt Devil. My work focuses on transforming CAD models into realistic, visually engaging imagery through precise texturing, lighting, and rendering in 3D programs.
What makes my approach unique is the way I merge technical accuracy with artistic storytelling, capturing not just how a product looks, but how it feels. I’m passionate about using CGI to elevate brand identities and create visuals that connect emotionally with audiences. I am currently working with a 3D Scanner and optimizing models for virtual try-ons!
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who taught you the most about work?
My parents taught me the most about work. Growing up, I watched them both work multiple jobs so our family could enjoy the small luxuries in life. We all had our roles—my father was a real estate loan officer, my mother was a teacher, and I worked on a farm. Outside of that, all three of us helped with our family’s casino business. Seeing their dedication and perseverance taught me the value of hard work, responsibility, and doing what it takes to achieve your goals.
What’s something you changed your mind about after failing hard?
I used to believe that failure meant the end of the road and that once something didn’t work out, it was over. I had always been good at finding new paths forward, but I still saw failure as final for that particular direction. After experiencing it firsthand, I realized that failing isn’t as defining as I once thought. When you take accountability, learn from your mistakes, and keep going, the path doesn’t have to end. Failure can actually become the turning point that helps you move forward stronger and smarter. I also learned that people often respect your disposition after failing and even want to support you as you grow, because it shows integrity and character. Mistakes don’t have to define you, they can reveal who you truly are, and that’s something many people admire.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My closest friends would probably say that what really matters to me is giving things a chance. It doesn’t matter if it’s food, people, or opportunities, I like to approach life with an open mind. I don’t want to live with regret, and I believe in giving others the same grace I would hope to receive. If I ever needed someone to take a chance on me, I would want them to, so I try to extend that same kindness and trust to others.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
I think people will most misunderstand my legacy by assuming that I was naturally talented. The truth is, I don’t see myself as particularly gifted. I have always worked incredibly hard. Since I was young, I put in extra effort to reach the same level as others. In school, I needed additional support to keep up with my peers. In sports, I spent countless hours training, not just to improve myself but also to build a partnership with my horse. In college, I pushed myself to complete both my undergraduate and graduate degrees within four years. When people hear about what I’ve accomplished, they often think I discovered my natural calling, but in reality, I created it through persistence, discipline, and the hope that if I kept at it long enough, it would become something I truly loved.
