A creative collaborative dedicated to providing access to creative services, smart minds and education to the community. The studio provides access to three parts of the community: one for the small business, two for the creative professional and three for the community at large. Each of these three parts combine to serve the community through empowerment and to help strengthen the places that I love.

ABOUT THE STUDIO
I’m excited to be a small business helping other small businesses become the remarkable places that make our communities great! Excited to connect people to other remarkable professionals. Excited to uncover issues, pain points and other roadblocks that are keeping you from thinking remarkable. Exciting stuff, huh?
WHAT MAKES THIS STUDIO UNIQUE?
I work with other creative folks in the community through a fellowship program to provide design services solely to small businesses that aspire to remain community-based. I also provide workshops and training sessions to improve understanding of the creative business and gaining creative skills.
Over my 20 year professional journey, there have been some great lessons that I would love to share with you! One lesson is to follow your heart no matter what*. And my heart has always resonated with the small business owner. Why should simple marketing and design skills seem to be “out of budget”, “out of reach”, “out of hope” for people that are so passionate about their businesses or their lives? This is one lesson I hope to disprove.

A Bit About Me
I am a recovering corporate creative that was raised by a long line of small business entrepreneurs. I have had the privilege of working for the smallest of small to the largest of large; start-ups and establishments that have been around for a while.
My training started young when I declared at age five that I would be graphic designer. I was schooled at the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!) in design and photography, then at Pratt Institute New York in design management and I am certified in digital marketing and as a Usability Analyst. This allows me to lead projects and teams in tactics needed to be successful in today’s marketplace. Need more convincing you are in good hands? Check out more of my resume.
