Kelly Thomas is an educator, creative mentor, and former homeschool mom of four, all of whom have now graduated. After many years of homeschooling her children, she discovered a passion for helping students develop both their creativity and confidence through hands-on learning. In addition to teaching, Kelly is the owner of Designed by Kelly, a creative design studio where she has the opportunity to use her professional design experience to serve businesses, churches, and nonprofit organizations. She enjoys bringing those real-world experiences into the classroom to help students see how creativity can become a valuable lifelong skill. Kelly teaches Web Design, Graphic Design, Digital Design, Creative Art, and Worship Choir, combining technology, visual arts, music, and creative problem-solving into engaging, project-based learning experiences. She strives to create a classroom where students are challenged to think creatively, communicate effectively, and develop practical skills they can use both now and in the future. Outside the classroom, Kelly enjoys singing, playing the piano, serving in her church and community, and creating educational resources for teachers and students. She believes she was created by God to create and finds great joy in encouraging students to discover, develop, and use their God-given talents to glorify Him and serve others.
