“Kelly and the KSJC team are respected veterans in the beauty industry, and in this rapidly changing environment, it is almost impossible to navigate without an expert on your team. They have strong relationships with most retailers, industry experts, investors, etc. I believe Kelly’s true point of differentiation is in her mindful approach to retail distribution. She looks at your brand and provides tangible feedback on social media, the DTC website, and brand positioning to determine the best path forward. Kelly understands the definition of success for a brand founder and has been a huge asset to Ranavat!”

“Working with Kelly has been the booster rocket my business needed. Her extensive industry insights, savvy, and network have presented opportunities I was unable to procure, and others I didn’t even know existed. Her manner is warm and diplomatic, yet focused and strategic, and she is the consummate professional right down to her excellent communication skills. I am grateful to have Kelly and KSJ Collective’s support and guidance as I continue to build my brand.”
