Ashley is a brand designer and photographer who spent the past decade in the agency world crafting big brands for big businesses and Fortune 100 companies like Toyota. She recently left her career and the corporate world behind to help small businesses build big brands, too.

Her passion is helping people live theirs. And she believes that anyone with a dream or passion for something should have a real chance at it. But what they may not realize is that they're going to need more than a logo to do it. Her studio, Ash Branding Co. brings the caliber of big branding to the heart of small businesses through custom branding, cinematic photography and film and online education.
