Shazelle Kelly moved to Hout Bay in 2014 from Sea Point. The decision to move was based on the schools in the area and providing her two daughters with a safe, family orientated residential area to grow up in. The diversity of the Hout Bay valley was a large draw card and the opportunity to purchase property in Scott Estate could not be ignored. Shazelle started her career in Interior Design that quickly moved to the specialisation in medical architecture when she moved to London. On return to Cape Town she focused on motherhood until she found herself facilitating the development and maintenance of ISO compliant business systems for the engineering industry. As her client base increased through word of mouth she was able to start her own business offering development and maintenance of quality, occupational health and safety and environmental management systems to the oil and gas sector.
