Katie Neason
Creative Director
Born and raised in Charleston, I believe there is no place on Earth like this city. I've checked, spending significant time backpacking through Europe, sleeping in the Sahara, and walking across Spain (twice). Each time I leave home, I come back more in love with it. The smell of pluff mud, the sunset sky after a storm, and the buzzing downtown streets on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I have yet to find anything that comes close.
I have a simple philosophy when it comes to creating: if I'm having fun, the audience will too. My career began the moment I picked up a camera and realized I never wanted to put it down (no matter how much my family begged me to). I fell in love with how art can allow others to share in what I feel so intensely. This led me to earn a degree in Media Arts and Public Relations at The University of South Carolina. After graduating, I built my foundation through agency work and creative freelancing.
As a Creative Director, stories fuel me. At Smith Spencer Real Estate, there's no shortage of stories to tell. A home is more than square footage or finishes. It's years of memories, big decisions, moments of heartbreak, love, and laughter. Small moments that add up to a life. I couldn't think of a better job than to be the person who tells those stories. I'm proud to be part of this team and excited about what we'll build together.
