Kelly came to Clear Ink from Farallon Communications, where he redesigned the company's corporate identity system. At Bechtel, he redesigned 100-page proposal templates for million-dollar jobs and improved the system by which they were produced, cutting the time required to complete them by 50 percent. He was a partner at MarKell Graphics, where he pioneered the use of early publishing technology, delivering high-end design solutions to his clients at a lower cost.

He has worked on projects for A.G. Ferrari, Ascend Communications, Asera, Aspect, Broderbund, Commerce One, Get Real Girl, Hewlett-Packard, I21, Jelly Belly, John Muir/Mt.

He strives to perfect this by understanding the needs of clients and their customers, and coming up with the right mix to deliver a unique and effective solution that is both pleasing to the eye, and easy on the mind.
