“If I could tell a person one thing about HighCraft, it would be ‘HighCraft is going to take care of you.’ Whether you’re a client or an employee, HighCraft values relationships. Taking care of people is what we do.” – Kelly

LIKES: Making people laugh. Eating steak. Skiing and snowmobiling in the winter. Fishing and wake surfing in the summer. Swing dancing to 80s and 90s country music all year long.

DISLIKES: Poor communication. Drivers who merge at the last second and cut you off. When people don’t put their carts away at the grocery store.

More than meets the eye:
Kelly is from the small town of Granby, Colorado, near the Winter Park ski resort. She grew up on a working horse and cattle ranch, where she was highly active in 4-H, and began competing in local rodeos and barrel racing at age eight. After being inducted into the Middle Park High School Athletic Hall of Fame, she went to Hastings College on a volleyball scholarship, and eventually played on CSU’s traveling club team where she served as captain. Kelly now enjoys playing volleyball for fun, and being head coach for the competitive 11-Black team at NORCO Juniors Volleyball Club.

Kelly was an outstanding designer to work with. She presented stunning options and worked with us as we narrowed in to find our particular style. She worked incredibly hard to find a tile product that I had my heart set on. She cared deeply about every level or detail and ensuring that our finished product was exactly as we wanted. – Kate and AJ

Kelly really listened to my preferences and kept in mind my remodel budget. She offered several options for items – but not too many so that I was (almost) never overwhelmed with the choices. I’m extremely happy with how things look with the completed remodel. – Sarah J.
