AV systems designer, Kelly Teel, got her start as a drafter, designing high-end AV systems for residential settings. But her expertise and range of knowledge fit perfectly into the commercial world. Today, she designs everything from corporate breakout rooms to professional sports stadiums, for a range of clients from government and hospitals, to financial and retail sectors.

“Dante allows for a scalable solution over the network without all this additional equipment, labor and reconfiguration.”

Dante is at the heart of every AV system Kelly designs. She likes that the platform simplifies setup and control—via the centralized Dante Controller—and that Dante makes it easy to grow and adapt her clients’ systems over time.

“The industry needs more techs who approach AV with a multidisciplinary point of view.”

Kelly sees the future of AV design continuing to move toward fully networked solutions. Knowing both AV and networking will be essential for future designers. And Kelly sees Dante as that go-to platform solution, whether it’s connecting AV across the room or across multiple organizations, easily adapting to the ever evolving needs of those organizations and their audiences.
