Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Kelly.
Founder, Mainely Creative and Design
I created MCAD as a home for two kinds of creativity: the useful ideas that make everyday life a little easier, and the imaginative ones that invite us somewhere else.
Calm Nest is our practical side. Valen is our imaginative side. Both begin with the same care for thoughtful design, meaningful details, and the people who spend time with them.
I’m glad you’re here.
