We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Ashley Jane Georgia. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Ashley Jane below.
Hi Ashley Jane, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
Take the risk!
I believe being fearless is one of the most important attributes a creative person can have. My work always pushes the boundaries and I’m always experimenting with new techniques and concepts that i’ve never tried before. Risk taking is what makes my work feel and look original, especially In a world where pretty much everything has been done before.
Ashley Jane, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I started my career in Los Angeles, freelancing for luxury fashion labels in Beverly Hills and designing web content for Hollywood film agencies. I then pursued new opportunities in New York City. Working in e-commerce and fashion marketing, where I became a creative cornerstone in developing a masstige lingerie brand. I began designing lingerie packaging, photographed and directed lingerie editorial photoshoots, and developed various web content. After years of working for private labels, I wanted to explore the world of advertising agencies. I worked as a full-time Art Director for a digital advertising agency in Times Square. During this time at the agency, I created and managed content for luxury beauty brands and became familiar with agency processes. I have an affinity for fashion and e-commerce marketing. That passion returned my gaze from agency life back to private label, where I worked as an Associate Creative Director for an indie bridal brand in Tribeca. During this time, I also began to develop my freelance business, landing my work in major magazine publications and preparing myself for the next steps in my career. Today I continue on my path to becoming an influential creative leader, working as a full-time Art Director, Photographer, and Content Specialist for a biotech haircare company headquartered in Raleigh, NC, called Virtue Labs.
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
I wish I had today’s version of Social Media when I was getting started. Tiktok and Instagram are the best tools to learn new techniques and share my work.
I love seeing what other creators are doing. I’m so impressed by the work I’ve been seeing. Being able to tap into the greater community via social is the best resource I have.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
All I want is to continue learning and bettering myself. I’m driven by the love I have for my craft and the desire to keep doing what I love. I also want to help motivate and inspire others by sharing my talents with the world.
