ABOUT
I am passionate about helping people connect with each other on a local level and believe that being self sufficient is an important part of our future. One way to accomplish this is by building our own systems of commerce through nurturing small businesses and family operations.
I spent over 10 years working for large corporations freelancing in San Francisco as a photo stylist, designer and overall creative. From that experience I learned a lot about organization, streamlining production, marketing and how to get projects done efficiently. Over time the impact that I was making in the corporate world did not align with my values, and now I live in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.
Working with small businesses locally or remotely who want to build a great community, stay connected and share what they have to offer, is my goal. Spreading a message can make such a big difference, because people want to support small businesses, but don’t always know how to find them.
I have had the pleasure of working with many different personality types and am more than happy to adapt my communication style or learn a new skill so your business can keep growing! As a jack of many trades it’s exciting for me to help with a variety of different projects throughout the branding spectrum, and pride myself on being a fun and positive person to collaborate with.
