Fashion, Tech, & Dinosaurs. Oh My! Kelly Kuhl on Unexpected Paths and Big Ideas.

From the MAKING WAVES podcast live APRIL 24 2025

We’re BACK with an absolute CREATIVE POWERHOUSE—KELLY KUHL (yep, it’s pronounced cool, and she 100% lives up to the name).

Kelly’s career is anything but conventional—and that’s exactly what makes her magic. With over 18 years of experience building ICONIC BRANDS across FASHION, TECH, FILM, BROADWAY, and WORLD CLASS MUSEUMS, she’s the definition of industry agnostic.

Kelly’s lead CREATIVE TEAMS + BRAND STRATEGY for global companies like TWILIO, L’ORÉAL, MOMA, GHOST IN THE SHELL, EVERLAST and more—Kelly has done it all!


IN THIS EPISODE, WE CHAT ABOUT:

  • Why blending industries (and roles!) is the future of creative work

  • Kelly’s “scientist-in-a-creative’s-body” approach to design and strategy:

    • How authentic connections can lead to surprising opportunities (like a dinosaur poster contest, no joke)

    • Building brand nuance and storytelling across wildly different industries

    • Breaking into new spaces without a traditional path—and thriving while doing it

This convo is packed with WISDOM, INSPIRATION, and lots of LAUGHS! Whether you’re in fashion, tech, the arts—or just figuring it out—this episode is for YOU!

So grab your fav snack and get ready to rethink what’s possible!
