LA transplant Kelly Mindell’s Studio DIY is the apex of a lifetime of entrepreneurship, audience-building, Instagram fame, and a rabid love for DIY party planning. Together with the help of her husband/live-in photographer Jeff, Kelly posts daily recipes, pinata construction blueprints, and travel-inspired party inspiration. Readers are encouraged to try out projects and post their photos on Instagram with the #troopstudiodiy hashtag, which allows Kelly to populate a page on the blog with everyone’s projects. In 2015, her Instagram workshop called “Can’t Crop This: Build, Brand, and Elevate Your Instagram Feed (Like A Rockstar)" sold out to an LA audience.
