Ashley was born an raised in Metairie, LA. She's lived a few different  lives over the years. From modeling in New York to working in one of the  top salons as a Cosmetologist. She spent over a decade working in bars  and hospitality to fund her dream. These journeys led her to open her  own business in 2018  called Novel Design. Over the pandemic she  utilized recycled glass from her years of tending bar to create another  business called Novel Candles. She pivoted the candle making business in  order to keep her design business afloat during the hard times of the  pandemic. Her story inspired me in so many ways. She is truly a self  made boss and I'm grateful to call her my friend. I hope she inspires  you too.
