LISA HASHMAN

WEB DEVELOPER

After her experience working in a large full-service agency, and as part of an award-winning in-house marketing team for a multi-billion dollar financial institution, our founder and creative director, Jade, wanted to bring the same level of quality, strategy and design to the small business owner. She saw that while her agency team was serving large, corporate clients, small business owners need the same level of support and strategy.  Working with a large agency is not as accessible or as practical for smaller businesses, and that's where the idea for a boutique agency serving just small businesses was born.  Jade's parents are both entrepreneurs, and growing up she learned about the world of small business after spending every summer working with her family. She has a BFA in Advertising from the Savannah College of Art and Design, and lives in Huntsville, Alabama with her husband, Brandon and their Goldendoodle, Finn.

Hi! I’m Emily Foster Keller, a branding and website designer living in Portland, Oregon. I love being part of the J. Alexandria Creative team! I live in Portland with my husband and two cats, Elsa and Olaf. I'm a big bookworm and have a bookstagram account to track and review my favorite books. A lover of design, business, and marketing, I love to work with and support other women and creative entrepreneurs!

Hey there! I'm Jana and I live in Huntsville, AL with my husband and two kids, ages 12 and 8! Current clients may see me on some Zoom calls and my name in your inbox. In addition to my role at JAC, I run a photography business and love volunteering at my kids’ schools. I enjoy board games, a good Netflix binge, watercolor painting, spending time on the water, and traveling!

Hey there! I'm Lauren and I live in almost-always-sunny Long Beach, CA with my three cats. You can usually find me petting someone's dog or grabbing an iced tea at the local tea shop. I'm a huge animal lover and love going out to restaurants to chat and catch up with friends.

I'm Lisa, web developer in Huntsville, AL. I live here with my husband, daughter, and one mischievous cat. I've been in the tech field for over 15 years and love building websites that are functional and super user-friendly. When I'm not buried in MAMP and DevTools, I'm probably binging a Netflix series, reading a mystery, or volunteering with the PTA. 

KATY JOHNSON

DESIGNEr & Social

Hi! I'm Katy, a designer and photographer who calls North Alabama home. With a sweet little boy, a lazy cat, and one wild cattle dog, my life is delightfully chaotic. Bright color palettes, bold fonts, and vibrant styled photoshoots are my jam. When I'm not glued to my computer, I'm out exploring with my camera in hand (and occasionally, my baby on my hip). I love working in fun locations, so if there's a new restaurant or coffee shop in town, you can probably find me there with an iced brown sugar oat milk latte—my current drink obsession.

KATHRYN BUTLER

COPYWRITER

Your resident overthinker, dedicated anglophile, and 'long-story-long' teller, Kathryn Butler, is a professional copywriter based in coastal Virginia. With a background in history, education, and museum work, she brings a unique perspective to her writing. As a devoted mom of three and a dedicated military spouse, Kathryn is a certified chaos coordinator, balancing her family life with her professional endeavors. When not tinkering with a Google Doc, she can be found antique hunting, planning her next girl's weekend, and playing tennis.

MADISON WOODS

social media manager

My name is Madison Woods, I am a mom of two boys, I live in the Gulf Shores area, and I've been doing social media for about 6 years! I am a former Magazine editor who quickly realized I'd rather do my own thing than become Miranda Priestly which was the original goal. I love working in social media because it constantly teaches me new things and allows me to explore new topics that I might not ever look into.

JOSEPH COUSINS

DESIGN INTERN

My name is Joseph Cousins and I'm an artist who recently graduated from UA. I live in Huntsville with my family and I love all types of art from digital design to screen printing. I love nature but also just as equally hibernating in my room to play video games. If I'm not making art or hanging out with my friends, you can usually find me writing for D&D.
