Hi, I'm Theressa, but everyone around here calls me "T".
My journey has been anything but ordinary, filled with a genuine passion for uplifting small businesses and startups through design and collaboration. My story isn’t just about professional milestones; it’s about a deep-seated desire to make a real impact.
As an Army veteran, I’ve had the privilege of learning the importance of discipline, leadership, and teamwork. These values have guided me through various roles, from pest control to tech and gaming, where I’ve been fortunate to contribute as a Creative Director.
My leap into the creative world was fueled by more than just a love for design. It was about connecting with people, touching lives, and building community. Studying graphic design was just the beginning. Merging my enthusiasm for sports and diving into tech startups, managing game and web design projects, I’ve grown to understand the unique challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship.
Starting Canvas & Coast Creative was a heartfelt decision, inspired by the resilience and potential I saw in small businesses and startups during challenging times. I wanted to use my varied skills and experiences to contribute to their success. I see myself as a mentor and advocate for those eager to express their stories through vibrant, compelling design. My vision for the company is not just about achieving design excellence but about creating a community of innovation, passion, and shared success.
