The cannabis industry is always changing. Thanks to innovators like, Kelly Dooley, of Luxe Branding Haus, we are able to stay up to date on the trends. Kelly is a entrepreneur with extensive knowledge in cannabis and the founder of Luxe Branding Haus, which focuses on innovation in branding and creating marijuana products through partnerships and in-house production opportunities.
We got the opportunity to speak with Kelly on the future of the cannabis industry and her future plans.
The following has been edited for continuity purposes.
1. As a serial entrepreneur, creating BodyRock and Luxe Branding Haus, where does the inspiration come from?
The sources of my inspiration are multitudinous. However, the creative fuel that pumps through my veins is mostly a healthful medley of architecture, art, astrology, interior design, luxury fashion, mass culture, metaphysics, motherhood, philanthropy, social media trends, and technology as well as the never-ending pearls of wisdom that come with the plethora of trials, triumphs, and tribulations that inevitably define entrepreneurialism as a diehard empathetic female blazing a trail paved with altruistic intent while concurrently capitalizing on the glaring white space that is rampant in each respective industry that I disrupt with acumen, innovation, intelligence, and opulence.
Hustle and Heart are what have set me apart from the start.
2. We noticed you have created luxury sports bras for A-List celebrities, who was the best to work with?
Britney Spears was definitely my favorite A-list celebrity to dress. She donned many of my designs and I am both hopeful and certain that I will work with her again at some point in the near future based on the spiritual trajectory of her life path.
3. Tell us more about your company Luxe Branding Haus?
Luxe Branding Haus is a full-service collective built on the belief that opulence, innovation, and strategy are what defines a successful brand. We are committed to creating an anecdote that influences a feeling of excellence through reliable, vitrified industry experiences. We seize unique opportunities that are intended to shift the world into a new level of consciousness and empathy. At the moment of inception and through each and every aspect of the design process, we want to ensure that each brand that Luxe Branding Haus creates is cutting-edge, relevant, timeless, and socially impactful. In addition, we genuinely understand the value of personal connection--and how to make each brand truly resonate with its target demographic.
This is also why Luxe Branding Haus' services extend beyond branding alone. We also have a concierge and travel division called Luxe Siren and an events division called Luxe Soiree, both of which are only available to our clientele. In essence, we're an identity platform with a comprehensive yet labile array of services to accommodate our carefully selected clientele.
4. We hear you have a new cannabis company in the works. Tell us any exciting new about the new company.
We are striving to open next summer in Q2 or Q3. QNDM will be the only 100 percent female-owned brand-focused distributor and manufacturer in the state of California with an emphasis on female and luxury brands, all of which are designed by Luxe Branding Haus of course. There are many facets of QNDM that are incredibly unique that I would prefer to leave to the imagination until we open our doors due to the proliferation of mimicry that is rampant in the cannabis industry and frankly in every industry that is reimagined by creative visionaries like myself.
What I am doing with QNDM has NOT been done before in the world of weed and ABSOLUTELY cannot and will not be replicated. We're forever revolutionizing cannabis and will make an indelible impact in this industry with an impassioned amalgamation of customer service, culture, de-stigmatization, education, innovation, luxury, opulence, science, strategy, and social impact.
5. How do you handle the stigma surrounding the cannabis industry, any words of encouragement for other cannabis entrepreneurs?
I am 100% myself and have remained devoted to my mission ever since I initially jumped headfirst into the cannabis industry in 2018. I do not allow myself to get sidetracked by those who are not even on the track. I've created a creative stratosphere, if you will, in this infamous and downright precarious industry, and in doing so, I have divinely manifested associates, clients, collaborators, employees, entrepreneurs, and investors who are in perfect alignment with my vision. I am a firm believer in the law of attraction and have thus learned the importance of keeping my circle incredibly small so that the oxygen that I breathe does not get contaminated by the toxic words and nefarious actions of gluttons, Machiavellians, and naysayers.
6. How do you see the cannabis industry evolving in the next 5 years?
I believe that education and decriminalization will help the industry evolve. If and when cannabis goes federally legal, consumers will be seeing cannabis products virtually everywhere, such as in Walmarts and 7-11s. The taxation issue in California truly needs to be ameliorated by the government as many farmers are suffering greatly from the exorbitant cultivation taxes. My hope is that cannabis starts to get treated with the same benefits as other industries, such as Big Oil, because cannabis is something that actually improves the lives of humankind and even animals, such as cats and dogs, who suffer from health issues, including arthritic pain and anxiety.
7. Do you have any other exciting projects coming up you would like to tell us about?
Yes, indeed. I am also the lead investor in Mavens List, which is essentially a B2B technological platform that connects brands with celebrities and influencers. Mavens' has proven to be a safe haven not only by ensuring that brands get what exactly what they paid for but also by guaranteeing that the talent gets paid and protecting them from the rampant emotional, financial, mental, and sexual abuse that pejoratively characterizes the entertainment industry. We also work with Hype House, which is a collective of teenage TikTok stars who live in Hollywood and create curated content. Luxe Branding Haus combined with Mavens List is truly a heavenly panacea for brands, celebrities, entrepreneurs, and influencers. I feel blessed to be in a position that has been illuminated by God-given talent, that has enabled me to utilize my education to the fullest extent, that has given me the opportunity to alchemize my life lessons with both grace and gratitude, and that has and will continue to drastically improve the lives of those whom we touch.
