Cynthia Deis is an artist, writer and educator based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. She’s a creative that ‘gets’ business, but she’s decided to use her powers for good. She has designed and produced jewelry for Anthropologie, Nordstrom's and J.Jill, and her DIY projects are often featured in magazines and blogs. With experience ranging from old-fashioned retail -actual bricks with actual mortar- to ecommerce to pop-up shops, her focus has always shifted between her own creative work, and on helping other creatives find better ways to do their own work.
