Hi, I'm Ava! I'm an Advertising graduate from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a minor in Business and a genuine curiosity for what makes people stop, pay attention, and connect.

 

I've always been someone who notices the little things—whether it's a brand showing up on social media in exactly the right way, a campaign that makes you want to be part of something, or a "day in the life" video that always leaves me with new places in Chicago I need to try. I'm especially drawn to brands with strong personalities and marketing that creates a feeling, lifestyle, or experience beyond the product itself.

 

That curiosity is what drew me to marketing. I love the space where creativity and strategy come together, and I'm excited to continue exploring social media, brand storytelling, experiential marketing, and the beauty and lifestyle spaces as I build my career.

 

Outside of marketing, you'll probably find me on a long nature walk with my dog Bella, searching through a thrift store for my next great find, at yoga or barre, or adding another Chicago spot to my ever-growing list of places to explore.
