Alexis Gordon Kelly is the founder and designer of eklexic, a statement jewelry brand for women and men. Prior to giving her creative streak a chance to reveal itself, Alexis built a successful career in the business field. She had worked in sales for years before starting her own telecom consulting company. In fact, she began designing jewelry around the time she started her own business. Alexis knows well, that to make one's way one has to be bold.  Alexis’ affinity for fashion has been a focus for long as she can remember. As a child, Alexis made it clear she would be the decision maker regarding her daily attire. In her teens, she was a diligent student of the best fashion “mentors”: Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, Cosmo, and Glamour. A staple in any outfit was something black, and a fabulous accessory. Later on, she could afford to show her appreciation of fashion by wearing designer and luxury brands.
