I was raised by an artist and an electrician. I am a super odd balance of left and right brain, and I pay great (sometimes crippling) attention to detail. The mix has led me to web design, and it’s totally my video game – I gladly stay up until 2 am playing… I mean working.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/li> From freelancer to entrepreneur to c-suite, Kori Ashton has spent over twenty years in the digital marketing space.
