Raised in the backwoods of Georgia,

Kelly grew up far from the fashion industry and even farther from Hollywood. In a small town where resources were limited but imagination was limitless, she spent her childhood dreaming of designs, reinventing clothing, and wishing for bigger than her surroundings. Long before social media and reality television made fashion accessible, Kelly was creating her own runway shows and designing garments from whatever materials she could find.

One of her earliest collections was made entirely from Reynolds plastic wrap. What began as a creative experiment became her first runway show and an early lesson in innovation, resourcefulness, and believing in her vision, even when it looked different from everyone else's. Those same qualities would later become the foundation of her career.

Over the next two decades, Kelly transformed her passion for design into a thriving business, founding Cute Booty Lounge, one of the early pioneers in the women's athleisure space. Under her leadership, the company generated more than $14 million in sales, built a loyal national customer base, and became known for innovative designs that helped shape trends still seen throughout the activewear industry today. Many of the design elements that later became commonplace in leggings and athleisure wear were concepts Kelly was introducing years earlier.

Her success in fashion led to opportunities in television, where her warmth, creativity, and relatable personality resonated with audiences nationwide. Kelly became the co-host and designer on TLC's hit series Something Borrowed, Something New, which aired for three seasons and more than 50 episodes. The show followed brides faced with a difficult choice: wear a brand-new wedding gown or allow Kelly to transform a cherished family heirloom into a modern masterpiece. Through fashion, storytelling, and emotional family connections, Kelly helped create some of the series' most memorable moments.

In addition to her work with TLC, Kelly has appeared on MTV, Style Network, and numerous media outlets as a fashion expert, designer, and television personality. Throughout her career, she has built a reputation for combining creativity, authenticity, and business savvy in everything she does.

Today, Kelly is the creator and host of Hairbrush News, a growing media platform dedicated to beauty, fashion, wellness, trending stories, and real-life conversations women actually care about. Through radio, video, social media, digital publishing, and a rapidly growing online community, Hairbrush News delivers headlines with humor, honesty, and a refreshing perspective. Kelly's mission is simple: create a space where women can stay informed, laugh a little, learn something new, and feel like they're part of the conversation.

Beyond media, Kelly continues to work as a creative consultant and brand strategist through KN Design Group, helping businesses develop products, branding, and marketing strategies that stand out in crowded markets. She is also the co-founder of Play Dirty Sports, a family-owned company built around youth athletics, community involvement, and the belief that you should always play hard—but play with honor.

While Kelly is proud of the businesses she has built and the opportunities she has created, her greatest joy is her family. She is madly in love with her husband, Aaron, whose love, support, and partnership have been a constant source of strength. Together, they have built a life centered on faith, family, resilience, and the belief that life's most meaningful successes aren't measured by revenue or recognition, but by the people you love and how you show up for others.

Kelly believes that faith has guided her through every season—from the uncertainty of starting businesses, to navigating life's challenges, to embracing new opportunities and reinventions. Whether she is building a brand, hosting a show, mentoring an entrepreneur, or spending time with family, she strives to lead with gratitude, integrity, compassion, and purpose.

Throughout every chapter of her career, Kelly has remained committed to reinvention. From a small-town girl making dresses out of plastic wrap, to a nationally recognized fashion entrepreneur, television host, and media creator, she has never been afraid to start over, take risks, or follow an unconventional path.

Known for her signature pink hair, candid personality, and entrepreneurial spirit, Kelly continues to inspire women to embrace creativity, trust their instincts, and remember that some of the best success stories begin with nothing more than a big idea and the determination to make it happen.

Today, Kelly lives in Southern California with her husband and family, where she continues building brands, telling stories, celebrating life's adventures, and proving that even the biggest dreams can grow from the smallest places.
