Kelly Harrold

Kelly is hospitality obsessed. Through travel and hospitality experience, she draws on a global perspective to inform her distinctive and layered design approach. Her superpower? Creating spaces that blend operational intelligence, material intentionality, and emotional resonance.

With a Studio Art degree from NYU and an MBA from UCLA and the National University of Singapore paired with experience working for two titans of industry, Holly Hunt and Rich Melman, Kelly now serves as Hospitality Design Director at Kehoe Designs. Here, she applies her business acumen and creative visions to offer a comprehensive hospitality design-build partner delivering layered, enduring environments.

Alongside Tom Kehoe, they are spearheading the firm’s formal expansion into full-scale hospitality environments and translating the bold, experiential design legacy of the firm’s thirty years in the events industry into permanent, built spaces.
