Designing Empires
Elevating Authors
Empowering Creatives
Hi! I’m Ash Ayres—Creative Director of AA Creative Co, global Shopify Partner, and your go-to expert for building websites that actually convert.
I’ve spent the last decade helping authors, creatives, and entrepreneurs claim their corner of the internet—with brands that sell, speak, and scale.
What started as a self-taught deep dive into design turned into a global studio, trusted by bestselling authors, multi-six-figure creatives, and powerhouse e-commerce brands across the world.
But this isn’t just about pretty websites...
It’s about purpose-built platforms that give creatives financial freedom. Whether I’m launching a BookTok author’s e-commerce store or teaching emerging designers how to build a six-figure business with my Booked & Banked™ course, everything I do is driven by one goal: helping creatives turn their passions into paydays.
When I’m not deep in design mode, you’ll find me wrangling three teenagers, obsessively shopping online, or popping champagne to celebrate another client win.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We don’t believe in playing it safe. We believe in bold moves, wild dreams, and building empires from the ground up. At AA Creative Co, we’re here for the authors who are done waiting for permission and ready to make sh*t happen. You’ve got the talent—now let’s make it unmissable.
FROM SIDE-HUSTLE TO SEVEN-FIGURES
Our Origin Story
2008
THE UNLIKELY START
I dropped out of high school and had a baby at 17. No degree. No roadmap. Just grit and mostly panic.
I taught myself everything I needed to know—branding, design, marketing, web design—and slowly started turning curiosity into career. It wasn’t always glamorous, but it was mine.
2020
AACO IS BORN
After a decade in corporate jobs, I was burnt out from building empires for faceless brands. I wanted more freedom, more impact, and more time with my family.
So I took the leap and launched AA Creative Co from my living room—with Ceara (my sister) cheering me on every step of the way.
2021
THE NICHE FOUND US
It started with a single author client.
By the time we launched her site, I knew this was it. Authors needed better tools, better strategy, and better design—and I knew how to give it to them.
Ceara officially came on board (thank god), and we went all in.
2022-2023
GROWTH MODE: ON
We outgrew the living room and moved into our first co-working space. Our services evolved. Our team grew.
We helped indie and bestselling authors build stores that actually sold books. We also launched the One Day Website, revamped our systems, and finally popped the champagne.
2024
THE INDUSTRY GO-TO
By now, we weren’t just making pretty sites—we were building money-making machines. Authors came to us for strategy, conversion, and style.
We became the name behind some of the biggest brands in the indie author world—and our results did the talking.
NOW
WHAT'S NEXT?
This year, I decided it was time to open the vault. Booked & Banked™, made for creatives who want to a build freedom-filled business without the burnout.
I poured everything I’ve learned into this course—and watching the next generation of creative CEOs rise? Thats been the most rewarding part. And this is just the start...
