HI, I'M KARLIE K HALL.
Who I Am
Community, creativity and constantly yearning to learn new things & perspectives is the core of who I am. I'm lucky enough to be able to combine my appreciation for art in all forms and love for marketing & human behavior into my career.
Being born hard of hearing and rockin' hearing aids my whole life has given me the opportunity to view life through a different lens. Deafness has given me a greater appreciation for ALL 5 senses and the inherit power & beauty they hold through art. I wholeheartedly believe that art, whether it be music, literature, paint on a canvas or cuisine on a plate - evokes genuine emotion unlike anything else. The intentional process of communicating emotions through creativity has been proven to drive action - good or bad. That's where marketing and creativity meet, and is why understanding human behavior through psychology is another passion of mine.
