A Creative Production Studio for Black Founders Building Owned Media
I'm Ashlee Nicole — creative director, brand builder, advocate, and founder.
I run Artistry Studios®, where I build brands, websites, and content for ambitious founders. I lead Ill Boss™, a community and platform for people living with chronic illness. And I write In Progress, a Substack journal on faith, creativity, and aligned living.
Everything I do comes from one conviction: your work should reflect your values.

I've been building things my whole life — brands, businesses, platforms, community. What started as a love for visual storytelling became a 15-year career spanning brand design, creative direction, and media production.
I've worked with independent founders building from nothing and production teams at Paramount supporting BET, BET+, and VH1. I've launched brands that became household names in their niches. And I've done it all while managing chronic illness — which is why I also built Ill Boss, a platform and community for people who refuse to let their diagnosis define their ceiling.
Everything here — the studio work, the advocacy, the journal — comes from the same place: the belief that aligned living is possible, and that your brand should be proof of it.
Trusted by coaches, consultants, and women founders nationwide.
