About me
Hey! I’m Ashley—a creative soul with a passion for all things artistic. Whether I’m sketching out design ideas, painting the world as I see it, or stitching up a cozy crochet critter, I’m happiest when I’m making something with my hands.
Art has always been my language—it’s how I tell stories, express feelings, and bring a little more beauty into the world. I especially love blending traditional crafts with modern design, and crochet is my favorite way to turn soft yarn into something with heart and personality. Each piece I make carries a bit of whimsy, warmth, and that special handmade charm.
When I’m not creating, you’ll probably find me coffee, daydreaming new ideas, or curating my next color palette. I believe in creativity with soul, and I’m always chasing the next spark of inspiration.
A passion for creating
art that blends tactile craft with visual storytelling. From cozy crochet and clay sculptures to bold graphic design, brand identities, and intricate miniatures, I love bringing imagination to life in both handmade and digital forms.
Fiber Arts (Crochet)
I love transforming simple strands of yarn into soft, whimsical pieces that feel like cozy little stories you can hold.
Photography
Capturing moments that tell stories, where light, shadow, and perspective come together to create emotion-filled images.
Miniatures
There’s something magical about building tiny worlds, where every detail matters and imagination lives at a smaller scale.
Clay Sculpting
Clay gives me a chance to shape characters and textures with my hands—each piece capturing a mood or moment in 3D.
Painting
Whether abstract or natural, painting helps me explore emotion through brushstrokes, color, and layers of intuition.
Brand Identities & Graphic Design
I love crafting visual identities that reflect a brand’s soul—creating logos, palettes, and messaging that truly resonate. This is my chosen career path. Read more below.

“I don’t follow trends—I stitch my own legacy.”
