In my role as CEO and Creative Director, I work with business and organizations that are at a crossroads and who need change. This can come from the desire to grow due to stagnation or shrinkage, or because your organization is ready to grow. In order to grow, most organizations need to change what they are currently doing and thinking. We know what it takes to help an organization to change. Change starts with asking hard questions to get to the core of who a business is and what it will take to really move the needle, and we are really good at asking the hard questions so that we can then create solutions to solve these problems with your branding and marketing efforts.We create brands that reflect our clients and the hard work they put in that makes them so successful. Our business-based, creative strategy not only brings fresh ideas to the table, but also gives clients the opportunity to truly describe, and often discover who they are and how they want their brand to reflect that. We firmly believe that collaboration is one of the greatest components of a successful brand and growth strategy. We don't believe in having just clients, but instead creating partnerships. Truly understanding your organization’s anatomy [mission, vision, and values] allows us to fully invest and grow as a business partner. This means that your growing pains are our growing pains, we celebrate your victories like they’re our own, and we use all of those experiences to refine your marketing strategy moving forward.Some of the more notable brands I have worked with include: CDC, Cabbage Patch Kids, Carry-On Trailer, Pigtails & Crewcuts, Discovery Point Childcare Centers, Swoozies, United Supply Company, Usher Foundation, Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, Aurora Theatre, Janus Institute, Gateway85 Gwinnett CID, and City of Duluth to name a few.

Black Creek Coaching was founded to help business owners grow their businesses by focusing on the relationships internally with your team through your culture and externally with your customers through your marketing.

As a former EMyth client, I know firsthand that building a successful business is a deliberate process. If you leave the growth and development of your business to chance, you might not be happy with—or even recognize—the resulting company. I enjoy giving my clients the perspective to objectively analyze the state of their company, the guidance to develop the structure needed to reach their goals, and the support to work through issues that stand in the way of their success.

Having literally grown up in the theatre, I pursued a degree in theatrical design with my specialization in both costume and scenery. Upon my graduation, I served as a design contractor for the Aurora Theatre including the costume design for the inaugural mainstage production in Lawrenceville of "Annie Get Your Gun". Favorite productions included "Last of the Red Hot Lovers", "A Year with Frog and Toad", "Damn Yankees", "Chicago", "Storytelling Ability of a Boy", "Boom", "Dinosaur: The Musical", and, of course, countless "Christmas Canteen" productions.

When I started my college experience, I only had interest in scenic design, but after a semester of study in the costume shop, picked up a new skill and passion for costuming. This included designing for both the mainstage and black box productions at Appalachian State University, as well as serving as an instructional assistant in the costume shop for three years helping other students learn the skills they needed. My roles included serving as a Stitcher, First Hand, Milliner, Designer and Instructional Assistant for the ASU Costume Shop.
