Kelly graduated from The Savannah College of Art & Design with a BFA in Sequential Art in 1999 and moved to Los Angeles in 2000 to seek her fortune.  Kelly began working for a prominent Los Angeles architect in 2000 as a receptionist and later became the Office Manager & Executive Assistant for the same firm.    

In 2005 Kelly moved to New York, where she almost immediately found Richard Cameron and his new company, Ariel.  As Ariel’s Office Director and head of PR & Marketing, Kelly has found a fulfillment she didn’t know was possible for her in architecture, and which has now been compounded by the addition of the Leira graphic design arm of Ariel, which Kelly works on tirelessly with Jason and Richard. 

In her spare time Kelly still writes and draws and recently finished her first novel and is working on a graphic novel.
