Hi there, I'm Abigail!
Designer. Strategiest. Creator.
I'm an open book, always have been, always will be. And let's be real honest with each other, none of us connect with someone because of their achievements, it's all about that golden personality.
A CHAI TEA AND BLUEBERRY RED BULL ADDICT WITH NO PLAN TO STOP, BRAND STRATEGIST AND WEBSITE DESIGNER, A SKINCARE FREAK, A LOYAL FOLLOWER OF INTENTIONAL LIVING AND FRESH FLOWERS WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE.
I'm a Kentucky native and have lived all over the country including New York and Colorado but landed in South Carolina with my husband and our two fur bébés - I share them on my socials!
I watch YouTube more than regular tv but don't worry...Real Housewives are my biggest guilty pleasure. I don't discriminate either, I watch them all. However, the RHONY x Bethenny Frankel era will be my all time favorite. I'm textbook definition of a Type A perfectionist and love a swear word, or two and let's be real, who doesn't? During my free time, you can typically find me working on our 1980s cottage renovation and decorating beautiful spaces.
The Resume & Achievements
Okay, so here comes the resume portion but I promise to keep it short and sweet. I have a degree in both Marketing and Business Management. I also loathed school if we're being very transparent with each other. I struggled a lot with my ADHD so the day I graduated, I literally never looked back again. School can teach you the basics but the real world teaches you the skills. Throughout my career I have worked in several different industries including luxury retail, real estate, medical, and even F&B. I started as a receptionist at a corporate job and worked up the ladder to the Content Marketing Director where I managed over 12 different marketing accounts with a large content team.
However, 2022 was the year I stepped away from Corporate America to focus on building Elm Studio Co. So far this journey is a labor of love and truly has brought me more joy and gratitude than anything I could ever imagine. I've been blessed with clients throughout the Southeast and love the challenge that each project presents.
Why You Actually Need Elm
WE BELONG TOGETHER
Now listen, you've gotten to learn a little bit more about my personality and my fancy resume. We have now arrived to the portion of this about page where I try to convince you that we are a match made in Heaven. But here is the kicker, we either are or we aren't. Not what you were expecting to hear was it? A practice that I preach to every single one of my clients is that your business is not meant to be for everyone and it never ever should be. You cannot make everyone happy but you can make your target audience happy.
Now, if you're sitting there thinking I have no clue who my target audience is for my business then let me just say that I would love nothing more than to help you figure that out. In fact, I'd love to help you figure out your mission statement, vision, core values, and so much more. And then to take it even further, I would love to take all of that strategy and give it life through beautiful visuals.
Every designer has a unique style and while I can fully appreciate everyone's work, I will always lean into the minimalist, timeless, and organic approach to design. My goal for my clients is that in 5 or 10 years they will look back and still be just as obsessed with what I've created for their brand. In fact, my goal for all of my clients is that we continue to work alongside each other while their business grows and flourishes throughout the years.
Let's become real life BFFs
