Make cool shit. care deeply. center people. Bernie should have won.

Hey, I’m Ashley — lover of music, organizer of things (sometimes people!), and producer of events and experiences where people feel seen and community comes together.

I’ve had a beautifully non-traditional life path, often leading me to places I never expected. In my early years, I worked in food and beverage, hospitality, and retail before stumbling into the corporate world, where I spent years producing photo shoots, brand activations, trade shows, and immersive one-night-only holiday parties for a fashion footwear brand.

Then the 2016 election happened. Like many others, I felt the need to do more. I jumped into politics in 2018 and never looked back. Very quickly, I realized how useful my production background was to campaign work — organizing events, telling meaningful stories, and helping turn grassroots energy into action. It was some of the hardest and most rewarding work I’ve ever done.

Post-campaign, I began working in the merch world with nonprofits and progressive campaigns, helping strategize launches and create one-of-a-kind merch that raised thousands of dollars and generated national media attention.

These days, life moves a little more slowly. I work with select clients who want to declutter their spaces and make room for more ease, more clarity, and more time spent surrounded by what they love. One thing that hasn’t changed is the desire to do meaningful work.

So what’s next? Hopefully!!! working for Mayor Mamdani to make New York City truly the best city in the world, and one that working people (including me!) can afford.
