Kelley O’Brien studied fashion design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she received the Fashion Council Award for her thesis collection Toward Equilibrium. Her work focuses on the ways clothing modulates interactions between the body and its environment. After interning for NYC-based womenswear labels Zero + Maria Cornejo and Rosie Assoulin, she spent time in the studio of Gary Graham in upstate New York. She currently works for a fashion design & development agency in Baltimore, Maryland.
