founder

A native of New Orleans – a city so happy and laid back it’s called The Big Easy – the vibrant floats and Mardi Gras celebrations left a lasting impression on Heather. In fact, she co-founded Ballyhoo Blue Workshop to channel the city of her youth and bring bigger, better solutions to her clients. For the last 20 years Heather has been creating executive presentations, logos, infographics and other design assets, and managing projects, corporate events and campaigns for multibillion-dollar companies  like Edward Jones, Rackspace and Visa to young startups alike to help them tell their visual brand story. They benefit from her love of creativity and the visual arts and her quick, smart solutions. She’s a creative asset to our clients and the odds-on favorite for finding the baby in the Mardi Gras king cake.

Sitting at the tidiest desk at Ballyhoo Blue Workshop, Ashley thrives on an organized life. She applies the same skills to her projects – providing clients with clear, organized and creative design solutions. With more than 11 years of experience, she excels at bringing the pillars of communication and quality to her collaboration with C-level executives and design teams to find the most effective way to communicate their visual brand story – often suggesting innovative ideas that advance the brand. Ashley is a strong team member committed to the success of clients including Dell, BioGenerator and Amazon. We’re convinced she has a magic wand hidden somewhere!

Stephanie began her career working as a darkroom tech for a newspaper during the pre-digital era. She spent countless hours waiting to mark up the negatives before the prints were finalized. It was like boot camp for becoming a patient, efficient and meticulous worker, embodying the pillars of attention to detail and quality in the Ballyhoo Blue Workshop storytelling model. Her colleagues and clients will tell you those are the skills that now make Stephanie so vital to their team. She enjoys partnering with executives and leadership teams to develop and implement engaging, creative communication materials. For more than 12 years, she’s designed, managed and directed projects for clients like CUNA Mutual Group, Washington University and Anheuser-Busch to help them tell their visual brand story. She’s concise, precise and has the patience of a saint. And, did we mention she has the warmest smile and positive attitude?
