I’m Kelley.  

I’m originally from Boston and unfortunately it’s come to my attention that I do say the word “wicked” from time to time. But only when it’s wicked necessary.

I’m currently thinking of things at Orchard Creative with my partner in life and crime, Katie DiNardo. 

This is my favorite description of what it feels like to have an idea:
