The concept for Pencil In Hand began in August 2008. Kelly and her husband relocated to Santiago, Chile which provided her with an opportunity to explore and document a new country and it's culture...all while learning a new language.
Throughout this site, Kelly focuses on living sustainably, incorporating a healthy optimistic lifestyle, observing architecture, and exploring the city by her own two feet.
Kelly has a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the College of Architecture + Design from Virginia Tech University. She is a LEED accredited professional and has worked and lived throughout the United States as an architect and urban designer.
She lives in Santiago, Chile with her husband and a view of the Andes Mountains.
