Ashley’s eye for design, her innate ability to understand people, and her experience in running web startups makes her a natural managing director. Having had sales experience while working at the Seattle Times, she has translated those skills into the role of head recruiter of teams, mentors, and partners at Girlmade. As a super-connector she sees the big picture that people don’t often see. While researching she can intuitively connect dots that help her teams to think bigger about the problems they are solving. She has an uncanny ability to come up with ideas that few would even think of, and the passion and grit to follow through on those ideas. Her goal is to help startups reach their full potential using sound UX design, SEO, social media, and other inbound marketing tools.
