An avid collector of old craft books
and magazines, Kelli enjoys scouring flea markets
and vintage shops for unique materials and design inspiration.
She knits, crochets, sews, and creates with just about anything
she can find - paper, pine cones, socks, ribbon, beads, buttons,
yarn, gumdrops - you name it. With her keen sense for "seeing" beyond
the typical use of a material, and a passion for color and whimsy, Kelli's
creations express a charming and playful wit.

A former craft editor at Martha Stewart Living, Kelli currently wears
many hats. In between prop styling and designing craft projects for
various publications, she is busy developing Kk, her own line of
handmade curiosities. This includes the line of stuffed sock toys called
Play With Your Socks. Her lovable sock creations have gained
international recognition, and in December of 2004, she began
a unique collaboration with designer Paul Smith, creating
sock dogs out of his amazing socks. The collection is being
sold at his various shops throughout Europe and Asia.
