Tether

Connecting Creative Image-Makers

WELCOME!

I’m Tamia, a Brand & Photo Stylist, host of the Creative City podcast, and founder of Tether, a community and agency for creative image-makers. I started this blog back in 2008 as an anecdote to a boring desk job, and it’s been a personal touchpoint ever since. Ain’t the internet grand?

I love connecting people, making ideas happen, and I never met a spreadsheet I didn’t like. If you ever want to talk about productivity apps, where to find the best ice cream, or the nuanced genius of Prince, get at me.

She Messy (or at least she wants to be)
