Williams says her business gives her the perfect outlet to combine her keen business sense with her unique creativity. In fact, Williams has a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and has worked with the American Stock Exchange as well as in the advertising. sector. But it was her work in the fashion design world that led her to her current role. While peddling custom designed hats and handbags to stores, she discovered how impressed her clients were with her presentations and brochures, and she knew she’d found her calling.

Now Williams creates sophisticated graphic materials for clients across the globe. One of her most popular items - and one she created herself – is Artistic Capabilities’ Presentation Plates: presentationplates.com. It's a software program used in PowerPoint presentations that can provide companies with customized templates to spice up business meetings and seminars. The program has quickly gained popularity with a client list including Wharton’s Business School as well as many international businesses.

She believes this multi-faceted group is one that appeals to all types of clients and businesses.
