Bios:
Kelly Williams is a designer, garment developer, technical designer, pattern maker, instructor, and all around DIY super creative kinda gal. Craft Haven is one of several creative pursuits that fills her day to day.
Kelly is a true autodidact. She learned the basics of sewing young in life and slowly but surely grew her skills through the years. She began designing her own line of clothing and accessories in 1998. After many years of doing things the hard way, she went back to school to learn professional pattern making, graduating from Apparel Arts in 2009.
Kelly began teaching with Stitch Lounge, the first sewing lounge of its kind in the nation. There she honed her skills and became a highly sought after instructor. She also also taught at-risk youth programs through Turning Heads and Beacon.
With the closing of Stitch Lounge in 2008, Kelly founded Craft Haven with fellow Stitch alum Hannah McDevitt. Though Hannah has moved on to other endeavors, Kelly continues the movement at her home studio in Burbank, CA..
