Kelly is a Brand Licensing and Real Estate expert with over 17 years of commercializing icons such as Under Armour, Coca-Cola, Muhammad Ali, Collegiate, Pro-Sports, Sotheby's, and Compass. She has directed new business strategies, collaborations, and brand positioning with the purpose of building and preserving elite brands. Her extensive trademark licensing and real estate experience includes expanding brands into new markets and commercializing within e-commerce, retail, social, and real estate channels.
Kelly entered real estate drawing on her business and deal-making background combined with her upbringing around the family’s interior projects. Hailing from a family of interior decorators and six Navy pilots, Kelly learned the importance of creativity alongside a meticulous mindset. These two balanced principles guided Kelly as she built a career in branding, negotiations, and real estate. Having drawn her first floorplan at the age of 3 (on the wall!), her mind is alight with prospecting real estate, negotiating deals, and decorating interiors. Her background as a relationship manager within variegated contexts makes for a solid foundation negotiating and overseeing real estate transactions. When it comes to telling the stories of clients' homes and prepping them for the greater market, Kelly's unyielding eye for brand standards, large scale commercialization experience, and family exposure to interiors provide her clients an elevated level of service.
Kelly moved to Baltimore from Atlanta in 2008 where she worked at the Coca-Cola Global HQ. Kelly and her husband, Darrell, reside in an over-120-year-old Victorian in historic Bolton Hill with their son, Wolfe, and daughter, Greta. In addition to her passion for interiors, she enjoys food, swimming, running, and the outdoors. Originally from the Florida panhandle's Gulf Coast, Kelly has enjoyed transitioning to the Chesapeake Bay. Although she yearns for fresh Gulf shrimp, she is happy to eat Maryland crab.
