A COLLECTION OF PERSONAL + PROFESSIONAL

Meaningful Wins

Greatest Title

Motherhood is the reason I started this business. I want to show my boys that women can lead with both softness and strength. That it’s possible to be present at home and still have a purpose beyond it. That creativity and intelligence don’t cancel each other out—they build something even more powerful when they work together.

Most Meaningful Award

In 2022, I was honored as one of Oklahoma City’s 100 Wildly Capable Women by Hundred Magazine for entrepreneurship and community leadership. The mission of 100 Magazine is to spotlight women for who they are—not just what they do—which made the recognition especially meaningful and deeply humbling.

100 Magazine

Biggest Achievement

In 2022, I became Digital Marketing Certified through Oklahoma State University, earning Google Analytics, Google Ads, HubSpot Email Marketing certificates. And, for good measure, I completed the Technical SEO badge on LinkedIn—because I firmly believe marketers should never stop learning.

The Beyond Design Co Mission

To support small business owners with clarity, creativity, and no wasted dollars by building brands that connect and websites that work.

Heritage Shapes Us. Heart Guides Us.

Rooted in Values

Beyond Design Co. is proudly Latina-owned and woman-led, guided by values that go beyond the surface.

No price shielding here. Kelly offers full pricing transparency on her website—because small business owners shouldn’t have to download an item, sign up for a webinar or be spammed with useless emails just to know how much it costs to hire somebody. She doesn’t believe in locking clients into expensive retainers or bloated service packages. You pay for what you need. Simple as that.
Design should be beautiful—but it should also perform. From the start, every decision is rooted in SEO, usability, and long-term growth. Pretty isn’t enough. Strategy is the standard.
As a certified digital marketer with specialties in SEO, Google Analytics, Google Ads, HubSpot Email Marketing, and more, Kelly invests in her education so her clients can invest with confidence. Because staying sharp means staying effective.
As a second-generation Latina and advocate for maternal mental health, Kelly brings lived experience to the table—ensuring every business and every voice feels seen, heard, and valued.
Working with Beyond Design Co. means one point of contact, one clear path, and someone genuinely in your corner. It’s not just a project—it’s a collaborative relationship built on trust, clarity, and results.

Years of Learning & Creating

Every step has shaped the mission behind Beyond Design Co.—from corporate cubicles and creative pivots to client wins and cross-country moves. Here’s a look at the key moments that led to today.

2011
Newlywed + Newsroom

Graduated college, married my husband, and started my career in journalism at News 9 in OKC. I didn’t know it yet, but storytelling would become the backbone of everything I do.
2012
Kelly Goes Corporate

Relocated to Indiana for my husband's job and joined the marketing team at a Berkshire Hathaway insurance company. It’s where I learned how to work smarter, think strategically, and build brands with clarity.
2016
Back to OK + Motherhood

We moved back Oklahoma, and in 2017 I became a mom for the first time. That shift changed everything. I knew I wanted to build something that allowed me to be present and still feel creatively fulfilled.
2018
Freelance Foundations

I began freelancing under the radar—taking on branding and website projects that grew through word of mouth. The vision for Beyond Design Co. started quietly taking shape.
2020
Beyond Design Co. Is Born

I launched my business with roots deep in OKC. My goal? To help small businesses get found online with websites that actually work—without overpriced retainers or gatekeeping.
2024
New Chapter in Maryland

We moved across the country (again, I know), and now I get to serve clients from the East Coast and beyond. Still the same mission, just with new scenery—and a deeper sense of purpose.
