So Much Good Work

Kellen is a graduate of Western’s Institute for Energy Studies and of Fairhaven College, and in a former life owned a small bakery. His work grows from his home on the Olympic Peninsula where he runs New Story Studio which acts as a net with which to catch projects that appeal to his interests, like working on affordable housing projects or innovative energy policy. In 2022, Kellen was part of the national team that launched the first-of-its-kind Beneficial Electrification Toolkit. He recently completed a six-month bike tour to study energy, housing, and agriculture and is now working on processing that experience.
