Where in Charlotte do you live? Where did you grow up?
I moved here in 1997 from Purdue University, but grew up in Silicon Valley. Indiana was culture shock from San Francisco. Charlotte is a nice, happy medium. It’s been exciting to see the city grow up and become more cosmopolitan, and now live in a home Tim designed for us in Plaza Midwood. Tim’s a local and lived here just about his whole life.
Tell us about your job. What do you like most about it? What are the challenges?
Starting a creative agency is incredibly tough but gets easier each year as we grow and figure out how to balance working in the business and working on the business. I love that each day is a little different, and that one day we’re working on [public relations] for a trendy hotel, then we’re branding a new community in Austin, Texas, and the next we’re working on a website for an environmental nonprofit.
What’s the hardest part of juggling family life and work life?

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
