Lucia Kennerly
Founder
As a forward-thinking entrepreneur with 30 years of experience developing innovative and environmentally responsible materials in the field of textiles and the arts, Lucia Kennerly is pleased to launch Purposeful Art & Design, a unique creative design platform for a new era.
In 1991, Lucia established her boutique textile brand, Lucia Cassa, later selling it to work in the role of director of product and consultant. As a textile researcher and developer, Lucia began to realize more and more the importance of using clean and sustainable practices throughout product life cycles which led her to establish a new mindset and pursue new innovative endeavors.
In 2018, she received an MBA with an emphasis on consciously driven, sustainable business practices that enhance the health and well-being of people and the planet.
More recently, Lucia achieved certification for a course in Circular Economy and Sustainability Strategies through Cambridge University, Judge Business School. Her deep desire is to integrate the conscious practices she learned into all that she does, both personally and professionally. Throughout the years, Lucia’s love of design fueled by her creative spirit has evolved into a passion and appreciation for fine art: as a collector, collaborator, and curator.
