Bio:

Kelly just recently opened Kellygreen Design + Home just down the street from us at Sunset Junction in Silver Lake, California. The store focuses upon green lifestyle items that are both functional for the home and daily life, while also an aesthetic compliment to almost any interior, including garden, pet and baby products. Kelly also offers design services (by the hour or by the job) and design products that are environmentally friendly.

Award-winning production designer Kelly Van Patter has been responsible for creating the looks on top-rated shows such as the first five seasons of "Survivor", the first five seasons of "The Apprentice", and season one of "The Apprentice" with Martha Stewart. She most recently was the designer for Martha Stewart's first critically-acclaimed model home in Cary, North Carolina, and designed Trump Bar in Trump Tower.

She has also designed for several varied genres: from children's television (the DIsney Channel, Nickelodeon, Children's Television Workshop), to music videos (Jill Sobule, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Public Enemy's Terminator-X), from independent films (Shelter, The Real Cancun), to commercials and promos (Kinko's, Hormel Chili, The WB Network, The Disney Channel).

Kelly has appeared on-camera as a designer for VH-1's "Rock The House", where she created interiors for such musicians such as Tommy Lee, Snoop Dog, Sammy Hagar and The Goo Goo Dolls. She also appeared on the Discover Channel's "Monster House", where she transformed a typical suburban house into a funky, functional hacienda home.

A "thank you" to Kelly for joining out esteemed panel of judges for the 2007 Fall Color Contest!
