ATLANTA, USA // Raised and residing in Atlanta, Ashley has over 15 years of experience in the advertising industry and is currently a Group Creative Director for global advertising agency, R/GA. She has created advertising, branding and design experiences for global clients such as Jordan Brand, Nike, Amazon, Sprite, Gold Peak, Audi, Verizon, Delta, Vaseline and the United States Marine Corps. Ashley has spearheaded meaningful change to the industry by being a leader that incorporates new voices in the creative process. She created the “No Other Skin” campaign for Vaseline, debuting an ode to the natural beauty of black and brown skin that aired during primetime television programming and the Grammys and Oscars when black artists and entertainers were being overlooked and unrecognized. Her digital innovation work in partnership with Sprite Zero and the Black Panther franchise created a safe space for urban and black creators to explore lesser-known professional paths. Her branding refresh with the United States Marines Corps not only modernized the organization, but more importantly, focused on an update in photography to accurately and honorably represent Marines of color.
Ashley is a highly awarded Creative Director, earning 60+ industry awards from national and global organizations and is proud to have been recognized by her alma mater, the University of Florida, as a 40 Under 40 honoree in 2024. Ashley dedicates time to mentoring aspiring creatives in the Atlanta area and takes pride in advocating and creating opportunities for underrepresented talent and creators within Advertising.
