MEET ASHLEY TRAIL.
THE COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST
Ashley’s passion is to weld the forces of creativity and strategy to give a voice to others in the loud digital space. With over a decade of experience in the fast-paced communication world, Ashley specializes in helping small businesses, non-profits, pastors, authors, and entrepreneurs with their creative and communication needs. As their Communication Specialist, she manages the breadth and depth of their communication channels, including email marketing, website creation, branding, social media management, and graphic design.
THE VISUAL ARTIST + PHOTOGRAPHER
Photography is where it all began. For several years, Ashley documented humanitarian stories with a variety of organizations. Her storytelling captures the beauty and dignity of a person and their unique story. Through storytelling, Ashley has been part of major fundraising campaigns to support work all around the globe. She has traveled across South Asia, Latin America, Central America, Europe and Africa. She helps organizations tell their “why” through storytelling and raise the funds they need to do what they do best.
THE NATIONAL PARK LOVER
When Ashley isn’t photographing and helping others manage their communication channels, she is road-tripping throughout the United States with her husband, Cody, turning up their “Ole Ash Oldies” playlist. She enjoys escaping the buyness of the city life to spend her days hiking in the mountains, sipping on coffee around campfires, and snapping photographs of nature’s stories.
Author James Thurber once said, "There are two kinds of light—the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures." Ashley Trail and her work are examples of the former. When I think of her and her art, I think of light, sunshine, color, warmth, and luminescence. Her unique point of view always reveals in a new way the dignity of humanity and the environment that nurtures us.
