ABOUT: coco+Kelley

Cassandra Lavalle is the editor behind coco+Kelley. With a background in Marketing, Event Design and Visual Merchandising, it’s not hard to see how she landed here. But it was her first editorial experience – a brief but serendipitous stint as a Market Editor for a local home and garden magazine – that reinspired her to follow her passion for writing and design, and she launched coco+kelley in May 2007 as a way to share all my stylish obsessions. These days coco+kelley has evolved into a full lifestyle company, offering interior styling and boutique event design to private clients across the country, as well as merchandising, branding and art direction services to brands.
