Kelly McCombs

Current position: Interior designer and owner of Kelly McCombs Timeless Interiors, designing home and business interiors, landscapes and furniture, and running a Seattle showroom.

First job: Selling handmade holiday cards door to door in my neighborhood.

How I got the job: My parents encouraged me to be creative to make a little money and lemonade wasn't really my thing.

What I learned: It was my first introduction to working one on one with customers; my earliest experience in composition, color and texture; and seeing firsthand how a passion could translate into a money-making opportunity — the true spirit of entrepreneurship.
