Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Ashley and I started Earth & Noble in the Fall of 2020 out of a deep desire to express creativity.

I've been a "maker" ever since I can remember. When I was little I would get in trouble for doing things like cutting up the family photos and gluing them to random things. I loved making friendship bracelets and was obsessed with art kits for Christmas.

In September of 2020, I made the difficult decision to leave my full-time corporate job. It seemed insane to leave a secure paycheck, benefits, and a brilliant team of people, but I couldn’t sit at my desk another day and know in my heart that I didn’t take the risk. I don’t like risk. I like safe and secure. You’ll never grow and change if you don’t step out of your box. You’re only one decision away from a totally different life. I didn’t even know *exactly* what I was going to do, but I knew I had to work hard and trust the process. And trust that God would provide. And boy has he.

At the time, I saw girls making polymer clay earrings on social media. I thought it looked so fun, so I gave it a try and it turned into a full on business! Now, the desire is to keep growing and expanding, encouraging others to do the same, all while expressing ourselves creatively. I'm so excited to bring another form of self-expression to the mix, boutique clothing! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you love every piece as much as I do.
