Hi, I’m Adrienne.

It all started in Norfolk, VA , the city that raised me and showed me that I can be anything I put my mind to. I’m a woman of integrity, grit and effort as I navigate this world finding out more about myself daily. Your creative best friend, recipe sharing sister and positive bullying business bestie.

I'm a multi-talented Black creative, dedicated to crafting spaces and products that nurture mental wellness and beyond. My heart belongs to Addie Rawr—a brand striving to infuse a breath of fresh air into your life. In 2013 I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Creative Advertising from Virginia Commonwealth University. During the 2020 pandemic, I completed my certification in Women Entrepreneurship from Cornell University. For over a decade, I've immersed myself in the arts—painting, illustrating, designing—each stroke of creativity adding to my journey. My former company, Art & Ambition Studios housed an open forum space for Black Artists to learn and grow.

Mentoring 20+ budding artists, guiding small business owners, and reaching out to 10,000+ creatives through my blogs has been a privilege and a joy.

Beyond my creative endeavors, I cherish my roles as a daughter, sister, and the aunt who dresses up to sit in the house every holiday.

North Carolina is where I currently reside, enjoy the greenery and plant-based eatery.
