Designer brings expertise to multiple platforms
When she went full time with her design business, Kerrie Kelly Design Lab, Northern California designer Kerrie Kelly, CAPS, FASID, was already wearing several hats within the industry. In addition to being an award-winning designer, Kelly was writing books and serving as the director of Interior Design at the Art Institute. She has since continued her all-encompassing approach to the industry – she is an author, a product designer, a columnist, a multi-media consultant and a speaker.
Kelly’s engagement with so many different platforms has made her a top influencer in the design industry and has kept her on the pulse of the latest trends and innovations. Kelly believes the best way to stay current in an ever-evolving industry is to be involved in as many aspects of the industry as possible. She serves as the director at large for the National ASID Board and is also a member of the NKBA. Recently, she accepted an invitation to join the Houzz Pro Advisory Board. Additionally, she is involved in design industry publishing: She is the author of two books (“Home Décor: A Sunset Design Guide” and “My Interior Design Kit”), serves on the Editorial Board for Furniture, Lighting & Décor magazine and also generates content to help brands reach the interior design market.
Although Kerrie Kelly Design Lab has begun to focus more on product development in recent years, Kelly continues to craft elegant, tailored designs for residential renovations and model homes. She is a recipient of the Nancy Vincent McClelland award, as well as numerous Houzz and ASID awards.
