About Harp Design Co.

With the support of his wife pushing him farther than he ever imagined, Clint wakes up everyday living a dream.  Clint is a visionary risk taker who gets most of his inspiration when he’s running, loves to eat just about anything,loves playing with his kids, knows Kelly is the best thing that ever happened to him, and has a really hard time staying organized…but can imagine a day where he will finally have his ducks in a row…yeah right.  And oh yeah, he really loves building furniture!

Kelly designs handmade home goods for HDC, makes everyone in the Harp family look good, is a lover of just about anything on NPR, an avid reader, a coffee drinker, a foodie, and craves the beach every day.  With a creative spirit, love for all things beautiful, and an eye for design, she is making HDC look better and better every day. And if there is ever a spare moment in her day, she’d prefer to spend it on a yoga mat.
