Who is Kelly?
A collaborative, creative, systems thinker who helps people build resiliency and foster community.
I'm an artist, a writer, an editor, a permaculture designer. I'm a business owner and a mom, a wife, and a dog lover.
I'm a chicken-raiser and plant-grower.
I'm a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend. I'm Kelly!
