“I come from a long line of entrepreneurs. It is customary in my family to find your passion and then
find a way to get paid for it. My father is a mechanic and my mother is an artist. Put them together and you get me.
I have a talent for designing graphic solutions for companies.”

Face-to-face client interaction gives Kellie the competitive edge she needs to reach her creative potential. She finds her intuitive nature helps her discover the solutions the client wants and needs painlessly and profitably.

Kellie is a member of the Long Beach Executives Association and sits on the board of the Greater Long Beach Small Business Association. She enjoys traveling abroad, cooking, photography and taking her chocolate lab to the beach.
