Director of client services
Mike Kelly
As Co-Founder and Director of Client Relationships at Aesthetic Shift, I dedicate my time to building and nurturing the partnerships that underpin the studio’s growth.
On a day-to-day basis, I engage closely with our existing clients and wider professional network, maintaining momentum on ongoing projects, identifying new opportunities, and bringing forward-thinking businesses into our studio.
I also help shape our business development strategy, ensuring we stay ahead of industry trends while clearly communicating the unique value our team brings to every project.
My journey into architecture began with a fascination for how things come together—not just physically, but conceptually. Studying architecture at university was a natural step, but early experience in traditional practice revealed that my true passion extended beyond the drawing board.
I am energised by people, conversations, and the bigger picture, which inspired me to carve out a role that blends architectural understanding with entrepreneurial drive.
Today, I combine design expertise with business acumen to guide clients, shape impactful projects, and contribute to the growth and vision of Commercial Shift.
