Ashley Thiry

United States

Hi! I’m Ashley Thiry, a writer, social media manager, and project manager located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

My passion is “making things”, whether it be brand copy, memes for your social media feed, or using my superb eye for detail to manage whatever project you’ve got going on, big or small. In some of my other lives I’ve been a marketing manager for an animal shelter, navigated the wild world of SEO, written commercials for radio, and lots more. I'd love to tell you all about it sometime.

Most of the time you can find me whipping up new dishes in the kitchen, devouring oddball cinema, crafting fresh Spotify playlists monthly, and obsessively perfecting my skincare routine.
