When Kellie Sirignano joined the award-winning B Five Studio after completing her graduate studies at Pratt Institute, her work made an immediate impression on senior partner Franklin Salasky. Just as his partners were considering retirement and other pursuits, Franklin found himself energized and enthused by the new ideas and inspiration that Kellie brought to the firm's design work. The two designers thrived in working together and their collaboration produced outstanding results. As their rapport grew, they recognized their mutual goals, shared design values and decided to open their own firm Kellie Franklin.
