Kelly Dooley-An Inspiration for Entrepreneurs

Born and raised in Orange County, Kelly is a skilled and creative businesswoman who launched her first venture BodyRock Sport in 2010. She got the business idea at 26 when she was selected for a marathon. Kelly couldn’t find a fashionable and functional sports bra with pockets to participate in the competition. She founded the activewear company using her innate proclivity and unwavering spirit to create something unique and practical.

Her creation of Swarovski-encrusted sports lingerie with pockets and other innovative features made her a well-known industry maverick and completely changed the definition of fitness, style, and utility. She has an extraordinary knack for developing game-changing concepts that led her to success.

Her creativity and liberating thinking process set Kelly apart from other entrepreneurs. She never confided her thoughts and ideas and didn’t believe in the subconscious programming of society.

The passionate entrepreneur is focused and dedicated to growing Luxe Branding Haus, Luxe Rebellion Styling Haus, and Maven’s List. The full-service creative company is built on the idea that innovation, luxury, and strategies define a successful brand.

Kelly has a beautiful daughter whom she considers her driving force. Her main goal is to be a panacea by offering customers, associates, and business partners the keen insight and guidance necessary to launch an innovative brand successfully.

Kelly believes in turning visions into reality. Her career is the epitome of success and teaches people how to defeat predators and pursue their dreams.
