ABOUT KELLY
Hello! My name is Kelly Su, Designer and Founder of KS School of Design.
Most people if not all, had a childhood dream of what they wanted to become growing up. For me, that dream was to one day become a Fashion Designer. That desire goes as far back as I can remember and it all began with a paper doll and a pink dress.
At the age of 3, rather than playing with dolls, I preferred to sketch my own and dressed them up with my own designs. I didn’t stop at that. When I received my first Barbie doll at the age of 6, I began making my own clothes for her with whatever I could find around the house. You can say that being resourceful helped fueled my creativity. From paper towels on the kitchen counter to socks that were abandoned in the laundry room, I used it all. As I became older, my curiosity and passion for fashion grew with me. I discovered a hidden oasis that became my first design studio: my mother’s closet. Cashmere sweaters, skirts and dresses – I modified everything to tailor it to my tastes and liking. Mom wasn’t too happy to see things disappear from her closet but you can say that is all history now.
I attended design school at The Art Institute of Seattle. After graduation I soon landed the opportunity to serve as an assistant designer at Nordstrom and soon after got promoted to lingerie designer. It opened my eyes to an entirely new world that I had only dreamed of as a little girl. I was fortunate to have had the chance to meet such an amazing team of people and travel the world. Years later, I got married and started a family of my own. My corporate life style wasn't what I desired for my new family life. Wanting to spend more time with my family, I made the decision to leave the corporate life and start my own business. Few months later I started my own design company, Kelly Chon LLC. and here we are today. I love what I do and truly feel blessed everyday.
I have been in the fashion industry for 20+ years and I would be thrilled to share my skills and knowledge with you.
