Kelley Roy is the founder and creative director of Art Design Xchange (ADX) in Portland, OR. A fearless, passionate, and wildly creative force in the PDX community, Kelley has spent the last fifteen years doing exactly what she does best - hold space for artists and makers, and empower them to grow and succeed through collaborative environments that bring people together. In this conversation, Matthieu and Kelley get into the story arc of ADX, what Kelley’s own personal journey as an entrepreneur and creative has looked like along the way, and reflections on where society is headed and how we can affect positive change in our communities, among many other things.

ADX functions as a large maker’s space where members get access to equipment and studios where they can practice their art alongside each other, motivating and inspiring new ideas and giving them the tools to do even more than they possibly could on their own. A bustling event space and meeting place in the heart of the city, ADX is one of the driving forces behind the rich and thriving art community of Portland - due in large part to Kelley’s unwavering commitment to building community rather than chasing profit, and her unyielding resolve to encourage others to do their best work, no matter what.

Recorded in Portland, Oregon.
