Ashley Balding
Ashley began her MDK journey in the summer of 2019, fresh out of the throes of the fashion industry. With a background in design and teaching, Ashley loves to flex both sides of her brain for MDK. Her official title is Events Manager but don’t count her out as Official Stress-cleaner of the Kitchen or Official Orderer of Burritos for Team Happiness (not to mention Regular Craft Table Attendee). Outside of MDK you can find Ashley knitting half-finished projects with a disgusting amount of color and canoodling with her dogs.
