Talking about Athens, Georgia on Alternative Apparel's Community Thread

I was a magazine writer, editor and article's producer for almost two decades and there are days I miss working with talented stylists and photographers (though this service is one I will soon extend to my clients!) When I do, I collaborate with friends, like for this article and fashion spread that I produced and wrote for Alternative Apparel's blog, Community Thread. Read more about my hometown project here!

A show of support

I gave a DIY PR workshop for small business here at home in Athens, Georgia tonight and to a diverse group of artists, craftsmen, and business owners. In a show of support, another local eatery, Martis at Midday, sent food for our guests! That's love and that's creative marketing! Thank you!

Design Sponge profiles Rebecca Wood of R. Wood Studio

Here in Athens, we know Rebecca Wood is a treasure. She's an artist with a huge heart and an unwavering dedication to her craft and to this community. Today she's featured on Design Sponge and we couldn't be more proud. You'll remember that she and the other Beauty Everyday collaborators are a chapter in Recipe for Press on creative collaborations.

Pig Roast

The Four Coursemen, Athens, GA self-taught gourmets and rising food stars, hosted their annual pig roast this past weekend. The babies, the band, the high gravity local brews and well-behave pups made this family reunion-style potluck an entire afternoon affair of community cool.
