ABOUT KELLY

Kelly is a seasoned professional.  Her creativity, flexibility and attention to detail has  earned her a loyal following of clients and confident referrals.  Her designs are versatile,   as she does not adhere to one particular style, but rather uses her extensive design experience and expertise to individualize each project to the tastes and needs of the client.  She often uses the architecture of the home  or cherished personal collections or artifacts for inspiration. Whether traditional or contemporary, eclectic or glam, Mediterranean or minimalist, her designs are classic and withstand the test of time. 

Since childhood, Kelly has had a passion for Interior Design and considers it her favorite hobby as well as her career.  She began her career as  a practicing, full-service Interior Designer in 1987.  She has years of experience in high-end residential as well as small-office Interior Design. From inception of the preliminary design and conceptual drafting & shopping phase to expediting through final installation of furnishings and accessories, Kelly does it all.  From 1987 to 1998 she worked with a well known firm in La Canada Flintridge, CA called “The Designing Women”.  She actively participated with The Designing Women in five world famous Pasadena Showcase Houses and traveled to such destinations as Los Cabos, San Francisco and Palm Desert to design client’s vacation residences.  Since 1998 she has enjoyed working on her own, creating beautiful and functional interiors for happy clients all over Southern California.  In 2004 she participated in the New West Symphony’s Ventura County Design House in Simi Valley.

Kelly attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles from 1985 to 1987.  She majored in Interior Design and graduated with an Associate of Arts degree in Interior Design.  Her love of learning everything about Interior Design earned her a membership in the FIDM Honor Society.  She was also a student member of ASID.
