Kia ora, I'm Kelly
Throughout my life, I’ve always focused on making what I work on better. Whether it’s through building products and features, improving processes, or fostering collaboration, my goal is to leave what’s in front of me better than it was.
Currently, I’m working on improving onboarding at Shopify — making the process of starting a business easier and more empowering for entrepreneurs. Commerce must be accessible to anyone, no matter their experience or ability — they should be able to play the game. That’s what we’re trying to do.
Product Design
I’ve spent the past 6 years at Shopify, solely focused on helping people start successful businesses. I’m obsessed with this problem; I believe that if we can improve this, it will have a profound impact on the world. If we do this well, we’ll see greater financial equality and independence.
Before Shopify, I spent several years helping local businesses by designing and building better advisory and business management tools at MYOB.
I've also designed & built a few products with friends; TeacherGPT, Foodee, and writr.
Gaming & YouTube
I also try my hand at creating content on YouTube. I have always loved competitive gaming, and wanted to share my passion and knowledge with others in the community.
I've been playing competitive FPS games for too long – competing at the highest regional and national levels for Counter-Strike. More recently, I've shifted my focus to VALORANT and began creating content.
