what inspires you?
Stephanie Abernathy
History, learning about the story of a person, place or object. Where they are from, how they got where they are, how our past informs our future. It fascinates me how connected everything is! How the smallest event from a LONG time ago has the biggest impact on our present.
What is your favorite movie and why?
I couldn't tell you my favorite movie because I would just rather read Pride and Prejudice again than watch a movie!
what is one hobby you use to destress?
Reading any Jane Austen work. I am also an avid Pride and Prejudice variation reader. It’s fun but always ends the same- which definitely keeps it low stress!

Ashley Malone
There are many inspirations in the world everywhere you turn. But honestly, people fascinate and inspire me to create. All of the original art that I own tells a story and I hope to tell my clients story with design.
What is your favorite movie and why?
This is tough because there is so many old classics that I love but I’ll say Marie Antoinette. If you know me, I have a weird obsession with her and anything French. On another note, I love the whole movie’s artistic creation from the costumes, to the music, and the architecture. Plus, Kirsten Dunst is my doppelgänger so that’s a plus!

what is one hobby you use to destress?
I take piano lessons every Monday as a form of therapy. I shut my phone off and I put all of my energy into my one hour lesson. I love that I still get to be creative but in a different way. Bonus, My son loves for me to play piano for him at home as well so it’s great bonding time!
