an outspoken midwestern gal living in nashville, tn!
Since I was a kid, I’ve always been endlessly creative - trying new skills, helping friends & family with anything from event design, to sewing, to photography.
I know what it’s like to feel sheer excitement (& a little overwhelm) when you decide to share your dream idea with the world, and prepping all the things that goes into launching it. To help you navigate your launch, I’m creating resources, templates + unique ready-to-launch brand packages to help you quickly + easily share your work online! If you’ve launched your idea, but you’re ready for a brand + website that reflects where you’re at in your business, I’d love to uplevel the visuals to support that new level.
As I continue to build the life of my dreams, I’m passionate about helping creatives like me to try new things, expand their horizons & find an outlet for their creativity — and to not be afraid to fail along the way. If you can relate, be sure to reach out on Instagram so we can be internet-pals!
my why
I lost my dad suddenly when I was 21, and it changed the trajectory of my life. It really set in that we don’t have time to waste - we can’t wait for retirement, or even next year to really live the life we want.
My goal is to create a life I love, a career I’m excited about & a legacy worth leaving behind.
I’m passionate about
Becoming the best version of myself | Trying new hobbies + DIY projects | Meeting new people + making connections | Listening, learning + being an ally | Traveling + experiencing the world [✔️Italia in May!] | spending time with my family + new niece Margot 🤍
my creative journey
-
My mom taught me to sew when I was young and I became enamored with creating my own designs. My first - a shoulder bag, made with bright colored quilting fabric that I used until it wore out!
I went off to Iowa State to study Creative Design in their Apparel, Merchandising Design & Production program. I started with the focus of creative design, spending hours in the sewing labs creating clothes. In my last year, I wanted to expand my studies and I graduated with a degree in product development.
-
2 weeks after my college graduation, I packed + moved to Los Angeles with a Costuming internship on the show, Torchwood. I spent that year working on so many film/TV projects, thanks to the wonderful costume designers who hired me + taught me so much.
With my love for music + dreams of styling musical artists, I relocated to Nashville, TN in 2011. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to style artists such as for KING & COUNTRY, Julie Roberts, Kyle Cook (Matchbox 20), amongst others.
-
Needing a creative outlet while working in the music industry, I learned to hand-dye, sew and hand-letter accessories. I named my business NASHchic, with the focus of creating witty + sparkly items (wine bags, pillows, makeup bags, coasters, etc) that could be customized as gifts.
-
Through the process of launching NASHchic, I had created the branding, social strategy and Squarespace website to showcase my new products! It was a full circle moment - my high school schedule had been stacked full with graphic design classes at the local community college + I had been using Adobe since I was 14.
Having had so much fun creating my brand, I made the decision to pivot and help other entrepreneurs launch their ideas into the world through branding and web design - which leads us here today! :)
-
For the past 5+ years, I've been providing brands of all stages, from fresh startups to well-established ventures, visual assets to radiate their unique talents + stand out in the spotlight.
As a full-service creative studio, I am focused on crafting bold designs for the innovators that are ready to take on the next level of their business.
