Hi, I'm Kelly – the planner behind The Planning Lab.

I’m a creative strategist, event designer, and unapologetic planning nerd who believes structure should feel exciting, not rigid. For me, the magic happens when big ideas meet thoughtful systems—whether that’s a high-stakes conference, a team retreat, or a celebration guests will remember for years.

Before launching The Planning Lab, I spent years producing large-scale conferences, retreats, and youth programs—transforming football stadiums into classrooms, building apps for virtual summits, and welcoming thousands of attendees to well-orchestrated events. My work consistently blended creativity with precision, making sure each experience was impactful, inclusive, and flawlessly executed.

Now, through The Planning Lab, I help corporate teams, organizations, and private clients create events that are thoughtful, intentional, and genuinely enjoyable for every guest—whether it’s a vow renewal, milestone birthday, bachelorette weekend, or any gathering worth celebrating. My approach blends creativity with clarity, ensuring every detail feels purposeful and every moment feels effortless.

When I’m not in planning mode

I’m happiest at home with my three dogs—Kairo, Pepe, and Cleopatra—cooking a meal, enjoying a crisp glass of white wine, and envisioning how to bring someone’s dream to life. I have a weakness for sweet treats, independent coffee shops, and finding unique artisan pieces, and I never miss a chance to explore a small town or design a space that feels beautifully curated.
