About Me
Hello! I’m Maggie Berry, a Nashville native, designer, and creative problem solver with a passion for strong visual storytelling and purposeful design. I live in Madison, Tennessee with my husband and our two teenagers, overlooking the Cumberland River—a place that constantly inspires my creativity and love for beautiful design.
I earned my B.F.A. in Graphic Design from Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee, and began my career right out of college as a Graphic Designer for the Nashville Predators NHL Hockey Club. From there, I expanded my experience into the hospitality industry with the world-famous Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, while also creating work across the music industry, manufactured housing, and corporate branding environments.
My background is deeply rooted in print design, with extensive knowledge of printing processes, paper specification, vendor management, color theory, and production execution. I believe great design is more than aesthetics—it’s about communication, strategy, and creating work that leaves a lasting impression.
With over 25 years of experience, I continue to bring creativity, precision, and passion to every project, helping brands tell their stories with clarity and confidence.
