Beth Eanes, the art director formerly known as Beth Hughes.
I’ve worked as an art director in NYC, Chicago, and Richmond for 8+ years and before that I dabbled professionally in higher ed, banking, and cupcake decorating.
When I was little, I wanted to be an ambulance.
As a middle child, I was my older brother’s punching bag and my little sister’s best friend.
I grew up on a flower farm. I have a minor in landscape architecture. Naturally, I spend a lot of my free time gardening, planting non-invasive species, and trying to save the pollinators.
I’m a serial crafter and DIYer - my most recent feat? Everything for my wedding last year.
I met Adam Sandler on the streets of SoHo, I can die happy now. He also sent a signed postcard when my husband and I got married, that basically means we’re BFFs, yes?
