Hi, I'm Natalie

Welcome to Studio 41 Creative! I’m Natalie Ray, and I’m thrilled to share a bit about my journey and the passion behind our agency.

My Journey

I began my career in marketing and public relations in Sacramento, California, where I served as the Marketing Director & Lead Event Planner at Greene & Co., a designer jewelry company known for its high-end and celebrity designs. Seeking to further develop my career and live closer to the beautiful Pacific Ocean, I moved to San Francisco. There, I worked as the Public Relations and Social Media Account Executive at F.W.I.W. Creative (now Farinella, Inc.).

In 2010, I brought together a talented team of award-winning designers, writers, and artists to form Studio 41 Creative. Our goal was to create a skilled, experienced, and elegant company dedicated to elevating brands through innovative marketing strategies and community engagement. 

Life in Asheville

In 2014, my husband Justin and I moved to Asheville, North Carolina. Justin is a musician who tours both domestically and internationally with Michael Bublé and has made TV appearances on shows such as Ellen, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and Saturday Night Live. When he’s not on tour, Justin teaches Jazz at UNC Asheville.

We fell in love with the arts and culture of Asheville and decided it was the perfect place to settle down and raise our family. We now have three wonderful children: Wyatt, Wesley, and Daisy.
