Work Experience:
I have been working as a Visual Stylist for over 18 years. I graduated from Colorado State University with a BA in Fine Art. I ventured into Visual Display and Merchandising with my pursuit of a creative career. This took me to NYC where I worked for Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s/59th St., and French Connection, UK. I moved to Atlanta 9 years ago, once here my creative aspirations lead me into Photo Styling. My focus: Product Styling, Set Decorating, Fashion Off-Figure, Tabletop, Cosmetics, and Prop Buying.
Clients:
Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Parisians, Linens and Things, Stein Mart, Bed Bath and Beyond, Winterthur, Home Depot, EXPO, Dixie Products, Barbara Barry Home, Atlanta Home Magazine, Touchstone, Carter’s.
What do you think needs to happen for ATL to be respected on a worldwide creative level?
Atlanta needs to be granted more high profile creative work. Once this happens the work will speak for itself.

Studio Spotlight: Farewell Paperie
“It all started with two advertising creatives who spent more time looking and talking about stationery than creating ads. Lisa Geubtner and Jen Pham-Corbett had created wedding invitations and unique announcements for theirs and their loved ones’ special events, and it was only a matter of time until their creative paths merged with an eyes closed, hand-holding leap into the wonderful world of paper, patterns, printing, and anything that looks and feels lovely.
Farewell Paperie specializes in unique paper goods that blend visual with tactile. We create pieces that offer the customer souvenirs from their special memories and occasions, and leave the recipient saying, “That is exactly (your name here)’s style.”
We treat all of our pieces like handmade gifts for friends, pieces that last, and—at their very core—celebrate the art of friendship and meaningful exchanges.
Our creations can include digital, offset, and letterpress printing (don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the difference if you need), and anything from sewing, beading, and dangling to fuzzying, fringing and beautifying, to create a tactile piece that feels nothing short of wonderful to hold in your hands.” - Farewell Paperie

What do you think needs to happen for ATL to be respected on a worldwide creative level?
I think it’s already happening. I moved down to ATL from NYC in 98 and much has changed with the design scene since then. More national and global firms have established a presence here as a major hub for the SouthEast. It’s true that we still have a ways to go from being Manhattan or San Francisco or LA, but it’s well on its way. As the city continues to grow (and it will), we will see more evidence of this. Atlanta still provides a great quality of life through lower cost of living compared to most other cities. Real estate, both residential and commercial are more affordable, taxes are cheaper and accessibility is high through our ports, airports and nearby suburbs. Things have stalled some, due to the economic crisis, but Atlanta will resume its growth and I believe its draw of creative jobs and opportunities will continue aggressive growth.
