- A little bit about Ashley
- I'm the Senior Art Director at It's Nice That, where I concept and deliver campaigns across our commercial partnerships and platform. Previously, I was part of a creative team at the legendary agency KesselsKramer, before taking the leap into freelance life in the middle of the pandemic. Over the years I’ve made everything from 25 metre billboards of Butchers to a series of films about a giant pie
- What Ashley is excited about
- At work, I’m excited by collaboration. I’m a self proclaimed sponge and love surrounding myself with incredibly talented photographers, illustrators, and designers, soaking up their expertise and working together to bring ideas to life. Outside the studio, I'm either watching or playing football, or spending way too much time on eBay hunting down obscure books that I will, in all likelihood, never
- What Ashley can help most with
- I’d love to chat with creatives who are at a crossroads and aren't entirely sure what is next. The industry can be tricky to navigate, so I’m here to offer honest advice on finding your path, positioning yourself, and simply showing up with confidence. Whether you are curious about agency life, freelancing or moving in-house, I can help you figure out your next move.
Pair Up Pros often have numerous requests so please be patient as we work through applications. We'll let you know by email if we're able to offer you a slot. By applying you agree to:
- Check the details. Be sure you can definitely make the date and time slot you have applied for.
- Be on time. Join a few minutes early. Your 30-minute slot starts and ends as scheduled, so a late arrival means less time with your pro.
- Come prepared. Think about what you want to get out of the time: questions, feedback on your work or something you're stuck on. The more you bring, the more useful it'll be.
- Keep it respectful. Treat your pro's time, advice and boundaries with the same generosity they're showing you.
- Show up! Remember that Pair Up Pros are kindly giving up their time to support emerging talent. We know meeting new people can be nerve-wracking, but we promise it'll be worth it.
- Give notice if plans change. Life happens! If you genuinely can't make it, let us know as soon as you can so we can offer your slot to someone else.
