Hey, I’m Ashley! A web developer with a million ideas, a love for Jesus + my people, and a habit of turning just about anything into a joke.

Charleston is home, New York will always be part of me, and this is where you can find a little of everything I’m up to. Come on in.

A note from me

Honestly, I just like sharing life with people. Sometimes that’s an outfit, sometimes it’s something I’m working on + sometimes it’s my friends being ridiculous. Hopefully you find something you love or get a good laugh. Either way, I’m glad you’re here.

xo, Ashley

Hey, I'm Ashley

Nice to meet you

Upstate New York raised me, San Diego got me for 13 years, and Charleston is home.

I left NY at 19 with my mom + brother after hearing they were moving to California. It was November. It was snowing. My response was pretty much, “Pack it up, I’m coming with you!”

I loved my San Diego years, but eventually felt ready for a change. After some time in Colorado, a lot of prayer + a couple of very clear answers from God, I found myself back in New York. About a year later, a visit to family in Charleston turned into a month-long stay. I went back to NY, announced I was moving in two weeks + packed up my car. It was -11 degrees the day I left, which felt like confirmation enough. By November, I’d bought a house here. I’ve never felt more settled.

These days, I’m a web developer at an agency, the person behind The Localite Guide + usually coming up with a million other ideas. I spent years working for myself through Two Palms Creative and have since shifted my focus to other creative projects.

I also love making content for fun, especially when it involves friends, outfits + a little chaos. If I’m sharing a link, it’s because I love the thing. Getting paid sometimes is a nice bonus.

I love Jesus, love my people fiercely, and will turn just about anything into a joke. I believe laughter can carry us through hard things, so I’d rather laugh whenever we can. More than anything, I want you to feel like a friend from day one - welcome to come exactly as you are.
