Hi, I’m Ashton!
Graphic Designer || Copywriter || Semi-Professional Beach Bum || Part Time Wine Connoisseur
If you asked me eight years ago where I’d be today, working for myself was the last thing I’d say.
My lifelong dream was never to be a business owner (it was to be an artist according to my third-grade homework and an English professor according to my college admissions essay).
But after a series of not-so-coincidences, I totally changed my career path and started focusing on marketing.
I was instantly hooked! As a lifelong creative, I flocked to graphic design and copywriting, and once I got my hands dirty, I knew I found my calling.
After working in corporate America for a few years, I realized what I really wanted to do wasn’t just create — it was to help people In a more boots-on-the-ground way to communicate their ideas.
More importantly…your new creative marketing secret weapon!
There’s little I love more than hearing “Yes, that’s exactly what I wanted to say! I just didn’t know how to say it.”
I’m not just putting a pretty boy or a witty tagline on these businesses.
I’m helping support these women as they pursue their goals and passions — and that, to me, is the most rewarding part of it all.
It’s so rewarding to work one-on-one with other women-owned businesses to make a lasting impact. Because It’s never JUST about design or copy. There’s always more to the story.
A mother who owns a business so she can work from home with her littles. A retired teacher who found her passion later in life and wants to go all in. A 20-something who had the bravery to start over and ditch the status quo.
My Philosophy:
Have fun and don’t be afraid to mess up. We all make mistakes, but it’s how you grow from them that makes the difference.
And now the fun stuff...

When I’m not working
I’m cooking! I love cooking because I truly feel like food brings us together. Food is meant to be shared, experienced, and enjoyed!
Taking pics of ads, billboards, posters, etc. here in Spain. I love observing design in multiple contexts, but especially in other countries and cultures!
