From side hustles to enterprises, I help ideas take shape — and matter.

I’m Kelly Smith

and I’m Here to Help

I work with businesses and hobbyists to tackle the projects that keep them stuck—the ones that need a quick-learning, multi-skilled professional who can think strategically and act creatively.

With a background spanning marketing, communications, content creation, editing, and design, I bring the adaptability of a generalist and the quality of a specialist. Whether you need a clearly articulated mission and vision statement, a beautiful (and functional!) website, an engaging blog post, or a new podcast, I deliver work that’s thoughtful, polished, and on deadline.

Testimonials

Shea W.

“Kelly is whip-smart, which inspires others around her to level up. She also possesses deep insight into, well, pretty much anything, which gives others a deeper glimpse into their own responses to life. And finally Kelly is always reaching for new territory in whatever arena she is currently occupying, which encourages those around her to do as well. Life is about innovation, and Kelly is an innovator.”

Cindi R.

“I am over the top excited about Kelly’s suggestions and ideas.  She has an uncanny way of connecting dots, seeking out potential opportunities and her impressive listening skills translate mere comments  into actionable next steps.  She doesn't leave a stone unturned even though I didn't realize the stone was there in the first place!”

Caroline Thor — Living Clutter Free Forever

“Before learning from Kelly, I was overwhelmed with starting a podcast and kept putting it off. Her teaching method really broke down what I needed to know to get started and skipped the fluff that was just getting in my way. During my second week of release, my podcast made it to number 3 in my genre in the U.S. on Apple Podcasts.”

Patrizia Costa — Art Historian, Author of The Duke's Trees: Leonardo's Unfinished Masterpiece

“Kelly's keen sense for what is artful, beautiful, and practical made the process of designing a website dynamic and fun.  She anticipated questions I did not know to ask, helped me to resolve logistics that would have been impossible for me to solve on my own, and designed a website to showcase my newly-published book beautifully!  For her, website design is not an isolated process; she's always thinking strategically about how design fits into a larger puzzle with marketing, e-commerce, and social media.”

Todd Eckert — Founder & CEO of Tin Drum

“Kelly is terrifically intuitive about current trends and how they apply to branding and social media applications. Her vision for our opening of 'The Life' was strategic and effective.”
