Our Why
Storytelling is the backbone of our society. By definition, it is the activity of telling stories. You can write it, speak it, sing it, dance it, paint it, act it, the list goes on. We tell stories and consume stories throughout any given day to share history, learn, build relationships, sell products and services, inspire people, and so forth.
Furthermore, each of us has a voice. Each of us has a story. Cre8 by Downton believes in empowering people to find their voice and share their story so that we can make a difference. Our fundamental mission revolves around supporting those who want to make a meaningful impact in their lives and the world.
our FOUNDER
Hello, I’m Ashley Downton!
(Just like Downton Abbey.)
I have always believed in the power of storytelling. From a young age, I wrote short stories, embraced music and movement, and enjoyed learning.
This passion led to a degree in journalism and women’s studies, a way for me to partner with others to speak up. I then cre8ed a 14-year communications career in Sacramento, CA supporting those in need through a nonprofit organization and helping to build the City of Rancho Cordova. I am a proud Sac State alum (stingers up!) and serve on the Public Relations Society of America California Capital Chapter Board.
In 2023, I embarked on a new journey to follow my passions. Throughout my life, I have had the honor of telling the remarkable stories of diverse people, businesses and organizations.
Cre8 by Downton is my way of not just bringing more stories to life, but empowering people to use their voice, so we can change the world one idea and one story at a time.
