Kelsey McKee is a little bit of everything, but most recently, she’s a founder. Originally from Atlantic City, NJ, Kelsey made her way to Los Angeles after high school to attend the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.

In 2015, she started a fashion blog called Bells + Whistles, which, seven years later, became the name of her digital strategy and design agency.

Early in her career, Kelsey interned at fashion and creative PR agencies in New York and LA. At these companies, she worked with clients such as Glossier, Jason Wu, Norma Kamali, Smarties, and OK Cupid, just to name a few.

At one point, Kelsey briefly did stand-up comedy, but she doesn’t really like to talk about it.

Today, she’s the founder of GoodThings PHL, an app designed to make it easy to find and engage with your local community.
