She didn&#8217;t just get into framing. She grew up in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Framing Career That Started in the Trunk of a Car<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelly&#8217;s story starts with her dad. More than 40 years ago, he began selling posters out of the trunk of his car. Once they started selling well, he had a lightbulb moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He said, what do you need with a poster? FRAMES!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That idea grew into a family framing company, and Kelly started working there during high school summers: rolling posters, shrink-wrapping picture frames, and packing orders.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Family Business to Frame It Easy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After her family sold the company in 2024, Kelly joined Frame It Easy that September, bringing two decades of hands-on framing experience with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-does-a-business-framing-expert-do-for-you\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does a Business Framing Expert Do for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A business framing expert guides your project from first question to final delivery, so you never have to chase updates or decode a quote on your own.
