Kelly Hurst - Lead Designer

 

Kelly has been designing spaces for many years. She loves the process of drafting homes - it feels like liveable art to her. She believes in creating functional and beautiful rooms while reimaging creative layouts, new flows and structure. As a Mother to many different age groups, she knows the importance of making every corner count and brings her expertise into her home everyday. 

She and her husband Kevin are part of the JKS & CO team together and bring a unique perspective as they help render homes, invite clients into the design process and bring visions to life. Her love of architecture and design began at a young age. She has memories as a young girl of playing “architect” with graph paper and her Father’s drafting tools. 

Some of Kelly’s favorite pastimes include antiquing with her husband, traveling, walks with her dog, laughing with her children and sharing meals with friends and family. She is passionate about creating a home for her family to grow, thrive and find belonging.
