ABOUT BRIAN KELLEY

Brian’s passion for design came at the early age of eight when his cousin, a fine artist, tutored him over the summers. She taught him sketching, shadowing, and drawing techniques that became the framework for his art and continued advancement into his own artistic design style. At age thirteen he experienced his first remodel, redesigning and construction projects on many investment properties. All were planned and completed with his father, whom he learned a great deal from. Brian’s knowledge of and experience with construction and space planning design grew and became the solid foundation for a successful career in interior design.

Brian’s extensive creative talent includes not only interior design and construction but also painting, 3D perspective drawing and illustration. The ambitions and skills cultivated throughout his youth impassioned him to apply and attend “The Art Institute” where out of several hundred students within three departments, he was the scholarship award winner. Brian went on to graduate with honors.

In the beginning, Brian worked in a variety of design areas, including: advertising graphic design, production art and printing, commercial display design and merchandising, and, of course, furniture design and development. His experience with and work in these areas assisted in leading him up the inevitable path toward interior design and construction, which has gracefully consumed the last twenty-three years of Brian’s professional career. Currently, Brian’s company BK Design is based out of Coronado, California. However, he will continue to cater to a vast range of locations.
