about

 

My name is Callan.

 
 

I help creatives, entrepreneurs, and visionaries bring their ideas to life in a way that feels true - where strategy meets beauty, and your work genuinely reflects who you are. I believe how we create matters just as much as what we create.

Originally from the mountains of North Carolina, I’ve been soaking up the colorful energy of the San Francisco Bay Area since 2022. My creative foundation began in fine art with painting and photography before earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design from Winthrop University in 2017. Over eight years in interior architecture and design taught me how to translate ideas from concept through to construction with both technicality and creative soul. Experiencing absence seizures has also shaped my perspective, reminding me of the importance of presence, alignment, and intentional creation - principles I carry into all of my work.

 

Alongside interiors, I’ve built my own creative business since 2018, starting with watercolor paintings on Etsy and expanding into brand and logo design, website creation, social media consulting, even embodiment workshops and wellness programs. Through this work, I explore what it truly means to create and share from alignment.

Today, I guide others as a consultant - helping brands, businesses, creatives, and students step into their authentic expression. Whether I’m designing a space or brand identity, planning a newsletter, creating a Reel, or painting a custom piece, my approach is the same: grounded in purpose and infused with beauty and soul.

I’ve developed identities, interior design packages, and marketing materials for companies such as Chartwells, Morrisons (Compass Group), and Chobani, as well as concept-driven branding for Charlotte’s restaurant scene and Bay Area designers, including Refined Interiors, RGH Designs, and most recently, Alicia Cheung Design. Selecting imagery, color, and design elements that evoke feeling and tell a story is one of my greatest strengths, and I bring that same care and intention to every project I take on.

When I’m not immersed in a creative or client project, you’ll usually find me relaxing or reading in my sunny San Francisco studio, biking through the city or admiring its architecture, flowing through yoga at the Sauna Garden with friends, or diving into meaningful conversations on my podcast.

I believe in treating everything I create - and even myself - as a work of art. I approach life and creative projects as a dialogue with the divine, allowing inspiration to flow through me to birth something new, beautiful, and alive in the world.

Thank you for being here.
