Founder, CEO, Digital Director

What brought you to the creative field?

I didn’t get “brought” to it I grew up in it Immersed in the fine arts by my artist mother, I attended numerous museums and art shows before I ever visited a theme park Also, our family owned two printing companies where I worked from my teen years on This exposure cultivated my love of graphic design, production, and the importance of business and communication I took this passion to UGA, where I earned my degree in advertising with a minor in art and graphics And now here I am I own my own branding design firm and work with some amazing clients!

What gets you out of bed in the morning?

Making a difference in people’s lives I proactively seek opportunities to help people achieve their goals I endeavor to offer positive encouragement in tandem with practical assistance in all kinds of situations: professionally, personally, and day-to-day random encounters Why? Because I love people… all kinds, different walks Everyone has a story to tell

What kind of person are you?

I am a “glass-half-full” kind of person I’m both an enthusiastic cheerleader and a team player I love turning challenges into success stories and making others look good in the process I love all my roles as a business woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend

What’s your favorite dinner and movie?

Veal scallopini, lamb chops, lobster, or the Prosperity steak at a locally-owned restaurant (Yes, I’m a omnivore AND an animal lover ) My favorite movie? That’s a hard one, but I’d say Gladiator just barely edges out Braveheart for me But just to throw a wrench in it, I’ll also mention that I like The Notebook, Titanic, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves!

What’s your favorite book?

Well, the Bible first and foremost But for fun? I’m a history hobbyist, so historical novels entertain me the most Two of my favorite book series are in a draw: Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon and The Last Kingdom, by Bernard Cornwell Authors Philippa Gregory and Edward Rutherfurd also get emphatic nods from me

You bet! Many actually: Trying out top chefs’ cuisine recipes, gardening, reading & writing, and finding waterfalls I love experimenting with new things, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures I teach ESL (English as a Second Language) to adult learners and am taking a Spanish class as well I don’t let the grass grow under my feet

Founder, President, Creative Director

What brought you into the creative field?

From an early age I was encouraged to be creative and work with my hands My mother was an artist and I have many relatives who are extremely creative Because of this, I chose to pursue a career in graphic design It was at the University of Georgia and subsequent positions that I began to learn how to attack complex branding/advertising challenges, devise creative plans, and then implement these plans into successful solutions

I’m passionate and purposeful about what I do I believe in the power of branding and desire to take calculated risks to achieve break-through results I go beyond practiced processes I thrive on healthy debate and look for collaborative relationships With the knowledge that branding makes a difference in people’s lives, I focus on delivering impactful results by leveraging innovative techniques and approaches that drive measurable returns My philosophy is that creativity plus the ability-to-implement go hand in hand Successful results must have both disciplines working in tandem with one another

Well, that’s a very complicated question, but I’ll try to answer it the best I can I’m an enthusiastic, creative/strategic leader I take complex marketing challenges and turn them into successful solutions I’m a husband, father, brother, son, and friend I’m a perfectionist, so I can be a little demanding when it comes to quality and meeting predetermined goals I believe in and employ the “Golden Rule ” I weight-train 3 days a week I love to travel Most of all, I try to never take myself too seriously

What’s your favorite dinner and a movie?

I enjoy so many types of food from a great American hamburger and fries to Chinese, French, and Soul However, I’d say my favorite dinner would be a huge plate of beef nachos with a killer frozen margarita…and if you throw in Cozumel, MX…it’d be perfect! As for the movie, it’s a toss-up between Aliens and Braveheart Both have determined and victorious heroes in seriously compromising and dangerous situations Both are powerful underdog stories Both are thrilling and inspiring And both would be fantastic with a frozen margarita

Anything written by Malcolm Gladwell, the author of David and Goliath, Blink, Outliers, and others I love his brilliant perspective and his unique observations It’s so obvious he is passionate about his craft Such interesting reading

Yes I love to paint, build sculpture, and exhibit my work throughout the US My first exhibition was in New York and since then I’ve been fortunate enough to be shown at Brown University, RI, Mary­land, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia For me, it’s a labor of love
