Experience

Kelly Aiglon is a Milwaukee-based writer who brings a thoughtful, curious lens to the natural world—whether she’s tracking migratory birds, exploring native plant habitats, or discovering under-the-radar gardens and outdoor spaces across the Midwest. She’s happiest outdoors, whether tending to her own pollinator-friendly yard or tracking down trails and foraging spots off the beaten path. Before landing in Milwaukee, Kelly spent two decades in Chicago as a journalist and brand marketing creative with a focus on home and garden, travel, food, wellness, and style. A believer in learning by doing and focused on building community through authentic connections, Kelly volunteers as a radio host and poetry center librarian, performs with several improv comedy groups, and DJs vinyl at venues across the Midwest.
