Hi,
I’m Jade
I asked a friend to describe me in one sentence and he said that he'd have a better chance trying to capture a unicorn. So, I guess that means I'm complex -- like most creatives.
Well, I'm 5'1 with the heart of a giant. Personable but not a pushover. Give me a porch swing, a dash of sun, and a glass of sweet tea -- I'm all set.
Inspirations? Atlanta. Swiss design. Typography. Nostalgia. Paul Rand. Iris Apfel.
My story? History and Africana Studies major from Williams College turned production assistant at Rival Entertainment turned Art Direction Student at the Creative Circus, and now Creative Strategist. My journey may be unorthodox but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Now as the Partnerships Director for The Gathering Spot, I expertly cultivate and manage relationships that drive strategic growth and community engagement. I bring my rich background in event planning, client management, and brand strategy, blending creativity with business acumen.
My work has been featured in prominent publications like the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, highlighting my impact on the industry. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy hikes around the Georgia mountains and taking in Atlanta’s vibrant culture with my beloved Cocker Spaniel, Oliver.
“Jade Carter has got to be one of the most impactful leaders in the DI&B space, the work she’s doing with The Gathering Spot is not only changing the way professionals of color get stuff done, but also changing the way we come together to build.”
