Kelly Finley - CEO and Creative Director

Kelly founded Joy Street design in 2011 with a simple idea in mind—that everyone deserves to live in a home they love which can only be achieved when the space is personal, functional, and comfortable. 

As a former lawyer, Kelly is no stranger to managing large, complex projects. With her fun personality, energy, and love of bold colors she brings the perfect combination of project management, creative design ideas, and unparalleled service to her clients.
