ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
”Healthy skin is more than a glow - it’s a reflection of inner balance, education, and empowerment. My goal is not just to treat your skin, but to teach you how to care for it…for life. You deserve to understand your skin, love it, and feel confident in every phase of your journey.”
- Jessica Kelley
Founder, Apple Organics and AO MD Skincare
Owner, AO-The Space
A Legacy of Skin Confidence,
Backed by Science
With over 14 years of hands-on clinical experience, Jessica Kelley is a licensed esthetician, skin health strategist, and founder of AO-The Space, Apple Organics Skincare, and the advanced medical-grade line AO MD. Her work has redefined what it means to care for skin…not just topically, but holistically, intelligently, and purposefully.
Driven by a mission to empower women through personalized skin education and evidence-based treatments, she has become a trusted expert for clients navigating everything from stubborn acne and hormonal breakouts to sun damage and the signs of premature aging. Her reputation is rooted in both results and relationships - every client is treated like a partner on a long-term journey toward healthier, more radiant skin.
A Philosophy Rooted in Results, Not Fads
In a beauty industry saturated with trends and quick fixes, Jessica stands firm in her belief that skin health is a lifelong investment. She combines time-tested esthetics with cutting-edge dermatological science to treat skin from the inside out. Her proprietary approach is built around:
Education-first care - because informed clients get better, longer-lasting results.
Ingredient integrity - only the highest quality, clinically validated actives make the cut.
Whole-person wellness - hormonal balance, stress, gut health, and lifestyle all impact the skin.
Prevention over correction - helping clients protect and preserve skin health before problems arise.
From curated treatments at AO-The Space to hand-formulated products under AO or AO MD, everything she creates is designed to restore the skin’s natural balance, vitality, and glow - without compromise.
Building a Skin Health Movement
With nearly 15 years of product formulation experience already under her belt with Apple Organics, Jessica launched AO MD in early 2025, a physician-backed formulation of medical-grade skincare designed to bridge the gap between clinical efficacy and everyday simplicity. The line includes solutions for acne, aging, sensitivity, pigmentation, and prevention. All with ingredients backed by peer-reviewed research and deep understanding of skin physiology.
Under her leadership, AO MD is expanding rapidly nationwide, with a growing network of trusted retail partners, fellow estheticians, and wellness clinics. As she continues to innovate, educate, and treat, her goal is clear: to set a new standard in skincare that is grounded in science, backed by experience, and accessible to every person who wants to feel confident in their skin.
