Meet shelley

Hello! I am Shelley. I have lived and worked in The Golden Isles since 2014 when my family and I fell in love with this area and the people who call Coastal Georgia home.

I've been so fortunate to have many opportunities to work with a variety of small businesses and non-profits for over 25 years - helping leaders and organizations clarify their message as they communicate with their customers, clients, and donors. 

As a professional speaker and former non-profit CEO, as well as co-founder and co-owner of a small business myself, I have first-hand experience and I understand how vital it is to have someone as trustworthy as they are talented to create content and communicate clearly an organization's message so that goals are achieved and everyone succeeds!

Experiencing a devastating house fire that destroyed my home in the summer of 2024 took me on a unique journey towards recovery and healing; and in the midst of that traumatic recovery, I was gifted a set of watercolors, paints and paper. Since that time, and to my great surprise and delight, commissioned work began pouring in - allowing me to do something that had become so good for my healing journey and also helped offset some of the lost business I experienced due to the enormity of my personal situation. I am elated to offer my watercolor artwork now through Coastline Design!

My background as a published author of books, curriculum, and articles as well as my experience on local and national TV programs, radio and podcasts, allows me to serve clients from a unique vantage point of having been on the "other side" of the creative table. My goal is always to reflect the one(s) I get to work with and this is reflected in the numerous satisfied and happy clients throughout the Golden Isles and beyond! It's a joy and a privilege to be even a small part of the beauty of this community through collaboration.

Whether an individual is looking for unique designs for personal events or milestones or a small business leader is looking to start an entire marketing strategy from scratch, I listen intently and offer my best to everyone who puts their trust in me.
