Kelly Deck has been advocating for West Coast design since 2002, when she opened a interior decor boutique on Vancouver's Main Street. Since then, Kelly has immersed herself in the lifestyle and community that makes West Coast design unique.
Kelly is the director of Vancouver-based Kelly Deck Design, a full-service interior design firm specializing in high-end custom homes. Her ideas have wide reach in Canada-through her Globe and Mail column, The West Coast Way; her HGTV series, Take It Outside; and her various media appearances. Outside of work, Kelly is a passionate cook, who enjoys nothing so much as a spontaneous collection of friends, food, and decent wine.
