graduation in December of 2019, she spent a summer as an intern with Key Interiors.
As someone who looks to the future, Kelly finds great joy in uncovering solutions to common
inconveniences that could potentially slow her team down. In addition to running her own projects, she
assists team members in their design related ventures including drafting in Revit architecture, material
take offs, estimating, and maintaining and growing Key’s relationships with their many finish & furniture
partners. She also supports all designers on projects with FFEs, finish selection, sourcing, client
presentations, and meetings.
An extrovert by nature, Kelly enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She often finds herself in
the kitchen whipping up a new recipe or working out.
