Hi, I’m Ashley.
Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where community meets creativity. Let’s create something impactful together.
About me
Hi there, welcome to my creative world of work and to gain a perspective on what I do and why I do it!
I would describe myself as an eclectic creative with a passion for community and healing through the arts. My experience ranges from graphic design, branding and creative direction. I always wanted to work in the creative field as a kid, I just didn’t know which field of work I would fit in. As my career journey progressed from home fashions and textiles, to color trend forecasting, to designing marketing materials and building graphic templates but I always strived for something more. During my free time I would volunteer at local non-profits or participate in community organizations that brought folks together. Upon returning to work I would find myself feeling that something was missing. I felt as if my morals were not identifying with designing for profit. So I thought what better way to combine both the creative world and community, and generating a new career pathway that gives me purpose and uplifts others!
community advocate
I’ve always been a humanitarian and an advocate to be a voice for others. Growing up experiencing multiple adversities as a child and into my young adulthood, I’ve gained a perspective on how crucial it is to have an outlet such as the arts or to be involved in a program that gives me hope for my future. And that is something I wish to give back to others and my community.
Empowering change
It all starts with us- to the people in our neighborhoods, to the youth who are the future of our society where we can start small thus creating a huge impact in return. There’s no better way to spread a message and catch the attention of others than through the arts.
