Kasey Riley

Kasey L. Riley has international experience in marketing, communication and teaching on the topics of public relations, digital marketing, and grant writing, having lived in Beijing, China and Copenhagen, Denmark (twice).

From meeting in Malaysia and marrying having only spent two weeks together, Kasey and her husband Morten Klinte (who was living in his home city of Copenhagen, Denmark while she was in Beijing, China when they met) took a circuitous route to get to forming The Fat Plant Society—but in a good way.

Stemming from a not-so-intentional but nonetheless Bohemian lifestyle of travel, love of nature and plant life, and delight in food and liquor from all over the globe, The Fat Plant Society grew out of a return to their roots in Copenhagen in 2015.

They made the decision to turn what they love, admire, and are inspired by into a business that would not only enhance the beauty of a space but also the wellness of those who inhabit it.

Kasey and Morten founded The Fat Plant Society in the spring of 2016 in Kansas City, a city that has been home to us (off and on) since 1999.

Kasey's formal title is "Co-Founder” & “CMO" for The Fat Plant Society but her preferred titles are "Nice Lady," “Moss Girl,” and “Walking Woman.”
