Affordable and functional organization & style.
Let’s perfect your home, business or garden.
“The renewal of societies and organizations can go forward only if someone cares.” - John W. Gardner
My love for helping people make their lives better took form at an early age, as did my attention to detail and ability to compose. I grew up immersed in my family’s business. Whether arranging the store to look its best, or ensuring graphic tees were folded perfectly and displayed beautifully, I loved the meticulous art of merchandising. At home, I was becoming an expert arranger while making the playroom look spectacular, organizing my closet [again], and creating art in my oil pastel journals. Today, my art continues to find its place on canvas and by restyling spaces.
Deep restoration is expensive, but an affordable restyle can create the change you need. Using what you already have, I can work within a small budget to reimagine and beautify your home, business or garden. I’m looking to help people who are hoping for creative magic, and promise to do my best to see you and deliver that magic.
I earned a BA in English at Ithaca College, a Graduate Degree in Publishing at Emerson College, an MBA at Canisius College and a Post Bac Degree in Art at the Pont Aven School of Contemporary Art in France. I also studied Art Direction in Film and Enhanced Illustration at Central Saint Martins in London.

“I asked for Kelly’s help to refresh a garden space at my home. When Kelly came to see my space, she had so many ideas and suggestions. It was clear she had a vision. Me lacking that vision, I decided to trust her and give her free creative reign - and boy did she deliver! I am absolutely amazed by the transformation of this area. I had no idea it could look this good. I, myself could not have done this. Kelly brought so much life and creativity to my yard, I couldn’t be happier! I can’t wait to hire her for my next project.”

“When I bought my house years ago, I could see landscaping potential in the overgrown and unmaintained cliffside lot. My brain was overflowing with ideas, but I had no time or energy back then to dedicate to yard work. After resigning from my job to stay home with my daughter, I finally mustered up the motivation to put some of those landscaping ideas into action; that is, until I actually stepped outside, where I froze in a sense of overwhelm at the pile of work ahead of me. At that point, I realized that I knew nothing about gardening/landscaping; I didn't know what to do or where to even start. I had originally wanted to have the yard nice and ready for my daughter's birthday party in a little over a month, but I was beginning to doubt if that was realistic. Just as I was strongly considering confining the party to my back deck, as I had done years prior, Kelly flew in like a landcaping angel to guide and show me what was possible. Kelly dove right into every one of my "dream" tasks and just went for it! It was amazing to watch, and it was so inspiring! I would often hesitate to tell her of yet another plan because it felt a bit much to me, but she tackled every challenge with a spirit of optimistic determination that washed my doubts away. All in the span of a month and a half, Kelly helped me create my dream patio rock garden, firepit and hammock hangout, birdwatching garden, and front yard paver path. She also inspired me to embrace, rather than fight, a messy area of overgrown ivy that I had no idea what to do with. With a little tidying up, pruning, and some decor, I was ultimately able to transform the space into a native plant garden where I now enjoy watching the birds, butterflies and bees go wild! This year, I've embarked on some new lanscaping projects. Kelly has since moved out of state, but her passion and joy for landscaping has rubbed off on me. I'm amazed at how I can now tackle my gardening pursuits with clarity and confidence.”
