Designer & Hand-lettering Artist
I started Creatively Southern in 2012 after my daughter’s first birthday. In the beginning it was a place to share my adventures of life as a mother and all of my DIY projects. Over the next few years, life got busy and priorities changed. After a long break from blogging. I struggled to restart and find my inspiration. And then… I met Britt.
He encouraged me to start creating again. We love to create together and learn from each other. And most of all, we love filling our home with things that have special memories and meaning behind who we are. And that is where our story picks up. We hope that you will find inspiration here and we are always here to answer any questions you have.

Builder, Designer, & Engineer
Britt is our builder, self-taught engineer, and all around toy fixer! My #1 encourager and supporter, he is my rock. The Engineer Motto fits him to a tee! “If it isn’t broken, take it apart and fix it!
Britt was born to be a creative entrepreneur. With experience in construction, Britt spent several years flipping houses. He has always had a passion for flight, and in 2015, he started SkyWorks360 Media, here in Knoxville. Now, he is also the magician behind all our video editing. In my heart, I know there is nothing he can’t do.
What Makes Creatively Southern Unique?
We get this question pretty often. What makes your signs and the things you make so different from what is out there in the big-box stores? The answer is simple. Our items are handmade here in the US. Not only that, but we make everything from solid, quality wood. If you held our signs side-by-side to the signs in the big-box stores, the difference would be in the quality of the wood and the build.
We do so much more than just wood signs. You know those people that are just hard to buy for? They have everything and no gift in the stores seems to be the perfect fit. We solve that problem with personalized, custom gift ideas that can’t be bought off the shelf. We’ve been told several times that are gifts tend to bring “tears of joy” to the recipients. While it’s not our goal to bring our customers to tears, we know that when it does happen, we’ve done our job of turning some special memories into gifts that last forever.
If you need custom work, reach out to us. We would be honored to make something meaningful for you. If it’s a hand-made item or hand-lettering you need for your home, an event, a gift, or even your business, we would love to work with you!
