Hi! I'm Bailey, a small-town American adventurer, Writer, Photographer, and PR Consultant based in California’s Central Valley.
Initially, I founded Bloom Creative Marketing in 2018 as a way to help small businesses struggling to keep up with the demand for quality and consistent social media content. As I took on more projects and got my hands dirty using my powers for good, I shifted our focus toward the work I was doing (mostly for free) for nonprofits in my local community. Over the last several years, I’ve been proud take on the legwork behind a handful of my favorite local organizations and be a part of the future taking shape in my hometown of Lodi, California.
I grew up in the restaurant business and have done everything from washing dishes and waiting tables to managing coffee shops, teaching tech classes, producing live shows, building spreadsheets, and mucking horse stalls. In my twenties I was lucky enough to move all over the country, pouring my heart into as many projects as I could get my hands on. In 2015 I ran off to New Orleans for a few months to rest my weary heart and decided it was time to come home and make a life for myself. What I found was so much more (and so much better) than I bargained for!
Within a year or so I was hitched to an old friend, managing a successful local Real Estate office, and scheming for a second dog. In 2018, I escaped the clutches of my soul-sucking 9-5 to embark on a creative adventure of my own design, and I’ve never looked back!
I feel honored every day to pour my time, energy, and heart into the people, places, and stories of my livable, lovable hometown.
