Kelsi Sharp hello@kelsisharp.comhttps://kelsisharp.com/ she/her/hers BIO SHARP DESIGN CO. is a bespoke design and fabrication company, led by me, Kelsi Sharp! The business model I’ve developed pairs two traditionally separate industries - agency-level design acumen and contract-grade expertise. We are designers by trade, bringing quality, craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of architecture and construction methods to every project. We bring brands into the built environment. TEACHING PHILOSOPHY & MENTORSHIP Because my own education has occurred largely outside of academia and formal educational settings, I've learned to regard every person I encounter as a teacher, and approach every situation as an exercise in continued education. Consistently having a personal and professional mentors and bolstering my career and skills with apprenticeships in various disciplines have been catalysts for my own growth, and I believe strongly that it is the job of the community, as well as the university, to educate.
