I am Kimberly Sevilla, and my journey has been anything but ordinary. My career began in Wild and Wonderful, West Virginia, where I embraced the challenges of being a white water river guide as a teenager. This early experience in a male-dominated field taught me resilience and the importance of forging my own path.
With a major in Bio-Chemistry, I ventured into bustling New York City with a dream to craft my own identity in fashion design. The 90’s saw me rise to the role of creative director for technology companies, blending science with artistry. A highlight my career was working on a project with NASA and the Smithsonian and presenting it 1:1 to Al Gore and his entourage.
My passion for design and engineering further led me to work with manufacturing companies, creating luxury retail interiors and kick-ass window displays.
My entrepreneurial spirit flourished in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where I founded Rose Red & Lavender, a successful flower shop and garden center that became a staple of creativity and beauty in everyday life. Rose Red & Lavender has been an active part of the community, engaging in local events and fostering a spirit of togetherness through teaching workshops and classes.
During the pandemic, I discovered the absolute necessity for indoor air quality solutions in homes. With my chemistry background and a keen interest in thermodynamics and building science, I didn’t merely dip my toe, I plunged head-first into creating the best systems for my clients I could find. As an INTJ, my analytical mind thrived, and I mastered, load calculations, system design, and ductwork design. I identified significant gaps in the industry and envisioned more efficient, holistic, customer-centric approaches. Fueled by my passion for improvement, I forged my own path, ultimately establishing Shelter Air.
As a mom and a wife, I balance the demands of business with the joys of family life. My commitment to community and family values is woven into every aspect of my work.
At Shelter Air, I bring this unique blend of experiences to the HVAC industry, setting us apart from 99.012% of the competition. My diverse background is not just a story; it’s our advantage—ensuring that our customers receive innovative solutions tailored by a lifetime of unconventional wisdom, creative leadership, and community engagement.
