After graduating from Ole Miss and then Cumberland School of Law at Samford University and passing the bar exam, I practiced law for over three years at a large, national law firm in Birmingham, Alabama. I then transitioned into a more corporate legal job in Washington, DC at a global publishing company where I worked as a legal editor writing and editing legal articles.. While working as a legal editor, to scratch my own creative itch, I launched a style and travel blog, Cobalt Chronicles. As I dove deeper into the blogging world and began to meet creatives in different fields (photographers, graphic designers, event planners etc.), I realized there was a hole in a lot of my peers’ businesses - they weren’t utilizing contracts to protect themselves and their businesses.. With my background in the blogging world and my legal expertise, I launched my Contracts for Creatives business, which is where you’ve landed!. My goal is to make your life easier by providing you with easy-to-use contract templates or a custom contract for a specific collaboration, campaign, or business relationship.. I also assist in business registration and with intellectual property issues.
