Our studio’s approach ensures the passion of our clients gets fueled by the quality creative it deserves.
Corling exists to fuel the intersection of meaningful strategy and creative that helps businesses bridge the gap from telling a story to inspiring their customers to become a part of the story.
Who We Are
Meet the Team
-
Genevieve spent the first decade of her career architecting engagement and marketing strategies that helped film studios leave a deeper impact on their audiences. What she came to realize is that stories are begging to be told everywhere, not the least of which is for businesses and individuals.
But more than telling a story on a screen--she realized individuals, their ideas, and their businesses have the opportunity to truly make their audience a part of their story.
She started Corling to fuel the intersection of meaningful strategy and creative, helping businesses fuel that gap between simply telling a story and inspiring their customers to be a part it.

Sarah has had the honor of working on national and international clients like Microsoft, PepsiCo, Old Navy, Burger King and tons more. An alumni of Savannah College of Art Design, she's worked for advertising agencies in Philadelphia, Boulder, Denver, Asheville and Greenville, SC.
She lends as much heart and soul to helping build brands from the ground up as she does redefining already great ones—from designing beautiful logos to creating eye-stopping packaging, thoughtful strategy, an engaging online presence or pushing sales through inventive in-store graphics.

With over a decade of diverse experience in human resources, marketing, project management, and digital learning, Emily brings to Corling a deep understanding of client needs with a particular focus on enhancing their culture through employee focus. Her empathetic nature drives her to find harmonious solutions for the whole team, a skill honed during her tenure at EAB, where she improved project deployment timelines and grew her emotional intelligence through HR support.
With a degree in Fashion Merchandising, her creative spirit deeply enriches her approach to project management, where she enjoys seeing the correlation between detail and final product. In recent years, Emily's time as a stay-at-home mom of 2 was the ultimate test of her skills and she feels strongly that it's made her better equipped to multi-task and manage emotions as she returns to her role of supporting clients and teams.

Kate previously served as the Marketing Director for Virginia Women's Center where she was responsible for the marketing and communications for 60+ health care providers at six different offices. While her responsibilities included everything from tv commercials, print ads, employee relations and office signage, she most enjoyed educating and communicating with women, arming them with health care knowledge throughout the spectrum of their lives. Kate's most recent career-stint is being Mom to three young and energetic boys. While laundry stains and bandaids are still an ever-present part of her day, her time as as a stay-at-home mom taught her skills of managing chaos and multi-tasking have demonstrated she can handle anything a Corling client throws her way.

What does Corling mean?
As the middle name of our founder, her grandmother before her, and now her daughter, Corling draws upon deep connections to our past while pointing to the new legacies yet to be made. We knew this name would mean something to us no matter how the world or times around us change.
Our crest is inspired by a family heirloom painting, which is now hanging in our founder’s home.
What Our Clients Are Saying
I cannot reiterate enough how Corling has immersed themselves in our business and industry, learning every aspect which has allowed them to create a very well-known brand for our company. We view our partnership with Corling as an extension of our company. For marketing and branding needs, there is no one better in the industry than Genevieve and her team.
RICK DAVIS, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING, MI-CASE
We can’t speak highly enough of Corling — not just the quality of service, but also their innovative and creative approach to brand depth & cohesive customer experience.
STEVE PERKINS, CEO & FOUNDER, GREENHOUSE
I hired Corling in 2023 when I shifted my career from higher education leadership to independent historian and author. Because my brand is deeply personal, I wasn’t sure if a traditional agency would give me the attention I wanted and needed. Corling has shown me throughout our weekly (and often daily!) work together that they value all brands, regardless of shape or size.
Through a true partnership, Corling has greatly shaped how I represent my work in the world. I’m very grateful to the Corling team and excited about our future projects.

For my concierge veterinary practice, Corling created a robust brand identity with many layers: color palette, typography, tone of voice, and several graphic elements. These facets were woven together to create a cohesive experience for my clients that showcases the warm, down-to-earth practice I want to be. They even included custom illustrations of my beloved pets!
