Meet the Founders
AKA Secret Agents
Our team of designers from various fields and stages in our careers are determined to make the most with design.
Jason Craig
The Visionary
The man, the myth, the legend. Jason is further cementing his mark in the design world by giving designers in Augusta a taste of what he experiences every day. True Design Freedom.
Jeremy Mace
The Man with a Plan
Jeremy can probably solve world hunger in a week if you give him a chance. Whatever logistics we need, he gets the job with ease like no one else, and he does it with a smile.
Clarissa Gainey
The Voice of Reason
The heart and educator of the group, Clarissa is has a mission: help to usher in the new generation of designers. Her mission is unshakable and she leads the team with conviction and creativity.
Amy Callan
The Strategist
We wouldn't have a clear path if it wasn't for Amy's amazing mind connecting the dots and keeping us all organized. This mama is a pro at making sure we stay on task and make the most of what we have.
Morgan Hayes
The Jack of Design
The only thing longer than Morgan's 60+ eyeglasses collection is her range of skills. She likes a challenge even if she has to learn it from the ground up.
Zoe Beard-Ortiz
The Future
Zoe's may be just beginning her career, but she's already making her mark in the design industry. From innovative and out of the box ideas, we never know what to expect from her.
Michael Rushbrook
The Secret Weapon
Michael is our man in the shadows. If we need something, he knows a guy who knows a guy, and he get the job done.
What makes us stand out
ADS is being built as a community for designers, shaped by the people who join it. Whether you’re an established professional, early in your career, or a design student, we hope you’ll bring your perspective, ideas, and experience to help us build a stronger design community together.
We talk the talk when it comes to design. With a group full of different designers from various backgrounds like education, freelance, in-house, and creative direction, we offer a place for designers of all career paths and stages to be feel seen and heard in the Augusta area.
