Running a business with my sister is a little bit like designing a home together.
There are days filled with creativity, excitement, and big dreams. There are also days filled with spreadsheets, problem-solving, and figuring things out as we go.
What makes it special is that at the heart of it all is family.
Natalie and I have always been different in the best possible way. I tend to focus on the vision and the creative side of the business, while she brings organization, strategy, and incredible attention to detail. Together, we balance one another and create something stronger than either of us could create alone.
Ellis Kelly Interiors has become so much more than a design business. It is a reflection of our shared love of beautiful homes, meaningful spaces, and helping people create environments that truly support their lives.
Building a business with my sister isn’t always easy, but it is one of the greatest gifts. I feel incredibly grateful that we get to spend our days creating, learning, growing, and building something meaningful together.
And honestly, I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else.
