LIVING A CREATIVE LIFESTYLE

KELLY O'KEEFE
Founding Partner of Brand Federation

Kelly O'Keefe was born colorblind, but he has always wanted to be an artist. People thought he was crazy when he chose to study art and design, but he has won more than 100 international awards for design and has been a leader in shaping brands for small and large businesses, non-profits, and organizations.

Kelly was unwilling to accept his limitations as a youth, and he has no plans to accept them now. He believes that new ways of thinking, new technologies like AI, and major changes in communications channels provide a pathway to follow, not an impediment, to enjoying opportunities that may not have existed when we began our careers.

Kelly's client list includes countless Richmond organizations as well as large national companies like Capital One, Carmax, GE, ESPN, Walmart, Dominion Energy. and UPS.  He is an inductee in the Virginia Communications Hall of Fame and has been recognized as Richmond Ad Person of the Year and as Virginia Entrepreneur of the Year.

1771 North Parham Road - Near Regency

Born in Richmond, Virginia, shortly after the conclusion of the Civil War, Henry W. Woody lived all his life in the city and established the Woody Funeral Home near Historic St. John’s Church in 1905. The business outgrew the original facility and a new, more modern building was built at 25th Street and Jefferson Avenue in 1916. Mr. Woody continued to serve families of the greater Richmond area  until his death in 1958. The company moved to Laburnam Avenue in 1966 and has added 3 additional locations including the Parham Road facility since. DIRECTIONS
