Kay is known for her innovative spirit and her incredible sense of harmony and balance in design. Design Inspiration and Innovation are Kay's strength coupled with her outgoing, bubbly, approachable nature which makes it easy for her to share and teach others to perfect their talents. Signs of Kay's natural creativity began very young. At the age of 5, Kay was creating, cutting, and hand stitching tiny little clothes for her Barbie dolls. A continued interest in garment design and construction lead to a line of garments Kay developed and sold in 80's and 90's. Kay's young years of sewing lead to her own upholstery shop business with the help of her entrepreneur father, who was a very talented metal fabricator. Kay learned about many types of metals very young and helped, at times, with the inventions of many metal projects her father created. Kay's love for metalworking evolved through this opportunity in life as well as a love for all types of machinery and equipment. Kay loves to joke that A girl's best friend is not diamonds and furs, but machines and equipment.
