About DesignBee Agency

Built by locals, made for local businesses.

We built our female-owned social media marketing agency from the ground up, right from our ATL roots. You know something about that, right? 6 years of planning, filming, editing & posting later, there’s still nothing we’d rather do every day.

We show up like your neighbors — the social media marketing agency down the street.

We know Atlanta inside and out. And we know it’s the people behind the businesses that make our city truly special.

Businesses like yours are the beating heart of this city.

You’re part of the reason 6.4 million people call it home. You’re the reason millions more visit every year.  And we're here to make sure they all know just how good you are.

Note From The Founder

I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit. When I was eight, you could catch me selling lemonade and snowballs at the end of the driveway in my hometown of Lafayette, LA. I eventually became a Girl Scout and always blew past my (and my sister's) cookie selling goals. That drive has never left me.

I graduated from LSU in Mass Communication and entered the real world as a graphic designer. I quickly realized that wasn't the full picture I wanted for my career. I had a longing for more. Something that let me use all of my creativity, not just keep it locked inside a design box.

Four years in, I was laid off. Instead of seeing it as a setback, I took it as the green light I'd been waiting for. I merged everything I was good at — graphic design, social media, photography, and branding — under one roof and DesignBee was born.

Atlanta is a city built by entrepreneurs, and I saw a real gap: local brands with incredible in-person experiences that just weren't translating online. That disconnect became my mission. At DesignBee, we make sure the story your social media tells actually matches the brand you've worked so hard to build.

If you're ready to stop stressing about content and start showing up online the way your business deserves, you're in the right place.

“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is not a trend, it’s a commitment.”

We're a woman-owned and neurodivergent-owned agency, which means we don't just talk about different perspectives—we live them. We've built DesignBee on the belief that the best ideas come when you actually have people in the room who think differently, look different, and experience the world different ways.

That's not trendy for us. It's foundational.

We hire people we trust, we work with clients who reflect Atlanta's real diversity, and we create content that speaks to everyone. We believe accessibility and inclusion aren't checkboxes; they're how we do our best work.

We also know the playing field isn't level. So we show up intentionally with fair pay, genuine respect for neurodivergent brains and working styles, and a real commitment to hiring and supporting people from communities that get overlooked everywhere else.

This is a long game for us. Diversity and inclusion aren't things we achieve and move on from. They're part of how we show up, every single day, with everyone we work with.

    • We're intentionally building toward partnerships with businesses founded by people from communities that usually get left out of the room. Black-owned, queer-owned, immigrant-led, women-founded—we're actively seeking these voices out because Atlanta's best stories deserve to be told by the people living them.

    • We invest in our team's growth around this stuff. We have real conversations about race, sexuality, ability, neurodivergence—all of it. DEI isn't a one-time training; it's how we actually operate.

    • We post our jobs everywhere—not just LinkedIn. Community boards, identity-specific spaces, networks that reach people who don't typically see agency opportunities. Because talented people shouldn't have to know someone to get a shot.

    • We create a place where people actually want to work. Where your identity isn't something to code-switch or hide. Where you're not the only person in the room who looks, thinks, or worships like you. Where you can bring your whole self—whether that's your neurodivergence, your cultural background, your sexual identity, or all of it.

  • We're asking our team and clients to show up the same way we do.

    • Be genuinely curious about perspectives that aren't yours. Atlanta's wild and diverse—and that makes the work better. Close-minded thinking makes everything worse.

    • Don't buy fake engagement. It's lazy, it misrepresents the real work we're doing, and it tanks your credibility. We build real community for you, not inflated numbers. If you're working with us, we're both committed to the actual thing.

    • Protect your mental health like it's your business—because it is. Burnout kills good ideas. If you're running a business, make sure your team has space to breathe too. We practice this, and we expect it from our clients.
