Fueled by a lifelong love of cooking, design, and entertaining, Kelly spent over ten years cultivating her expertise in the restaurant and hospitality industry. From working with Chef Michael Mina and team to build and rebrand his restaaurants. Collaborating with Coca-Cola on a mixology concept. And redefining the design and merchandising at Qdoba restaurants. Now, she channels this expertise, along with her talents in food styling and photography, as seen on her instagram account Mix & Measure, into her love of cooking, design, and entertaining.

She recently self-published her first cookbook, The Baker’s Atlas alongside her mom, further sharing her passion for creating beautiful and cherished experiences with people and delicious food. The book celebrates the memories of the food eaten, baked and created. It’s about time and place, like those moments in childhood when Kelly would rush home from school to see if her Mom made our favorite cookies. Or recipes that completely ‘wow’d’ them. The pages are a compilation of all the family taste buds, the repeatedly requested favorites and the wickedly fun mother­ -daughter collaboration that keeps on thriving.

She is also author of The Culinary Cut on Substack. Sharing dishes and recipes seen in and inspired by favorite movies and shows, from Hallie and Annie’s peanut butter and Oreo’s obsession, Vincent Vega’s Royale with Cheese to Rachel Green’s Trifle, she brings her interpretation to each while keeping the heart of the original story.
