In this episode we highlight Ashlee Jones, the designer, illustrator and muralist behind the New Orleans based Smallchalk Studio. As noted in the previous episode with Kara McGuire, Ashlee's studio is 1/3 of AKA Studios too. We get into how Ashlee got her name, Smallchalk - the mediums in which she works with now and how her business is actively growing within the New Orleans fabric. We also discuss how Ashlee operates her business and juggling being a working mother of two with her husband Brett Jones who owns the local restaurant Barracuda. **Side Note: this particular episode was recorded a month and a half prior to this release, so the narrative is a peak back in time before the COVID-19 pandemic.
