BIO

Kelley E. Foy is an Arizona based designer, maker, chef, and serial entrepreneur. 

After more than 20 years as a furniture designer and custom furniture maker revealing the possibilities of handcrafted wood and steel, she has made her way back to her origins in clay. In the spaces between, she has explored the food culture phenomena from the inside out as the owner, designer,  and operator of two acclaimed restaurants. All the while, she has been blending and building on her wood, clay, and steel explorations. 

Kelley is currently building a gelato and sorbet program for Merkin Vineyards using mostly local fruits and herbs grown from their own vineyards, orchards and greenhouses.

Foy's work has been featured in Phoenix Home and Garden, Arizona Foothills Magazine, Phoenix Magazine, Arizona Highways and Sunset Magazine
