Principal Designer, Kelly DeWitt
Kelly DeWitt believes in the inherent beauty of a shared space. As Founder, Creative Director, and Principal Designer at KKDW, her work focuses on designing and creating environments that are meant to be experienced communally—restaurants, bars, offices, and retail spaces. Her work is warm and inviting, with a focus on color, light, and texture.
Originally a furniture designer and maker, Kelly brings one-of-a-kind designs and custom pieces to every project she works on, always inspired by the unique building, client, or brand she’s designing for. Together with her husband Travis and their powerful team, Kelly has designed dozens of restaurants, bars, and flagship spaces across the country.
Passionate about experiencing and creating beauty in all its forms, Kelly draws heavily upon her love of photography, baking, books, and travel to inform her work. She currently lives in the Texas Hill Country with her husband, young daughter, and three dogs.
Her work has been featured in Dezeen, Texas Monthly, Design Milk, Southern Living, and many more. To get in touch about a project, press inquiry, or speaking engagements, please contact Kelly here.
