“With Mallory you know you’re going to get a memorable and impactful session for your audience. When choosing speakers for New Orleans Entrepreneur Week – having Mallory back year after year was a no-brainer.”
Motivational Keynote Speaker for Multi-Passionate Creatives
Through my signature theatrical keynote & book, We Are The Weird Ones: Embrace Your Weird for a Kinder, More Inclusive World, my goal is to empower people to redefine what "normal" means and to reimagine how we relate to other people & ourselves.
Everything I do is rooted in my 4-part We Are the Weird Ones framework — Curiosity, Compassion, Authenticity & Action.

Hi! I’m Mallory.
It’s hard to sum up who I am. I’m a multi-passionate creative. I contain multitudes. And if you do too… You’re my people.
I've always made things. From handmade goods and indie retail to podcasts, educational programs, theatrical stage shows, and everything in between, there’s been one through-line:
Building things that bring creative people together.
With a background that spans digital marketing, tech, entrepreneurship, teaching, and the arts, I enjoy creative problem solving, collaboration and applying my diverse skills to new challenges.
Named one of Gambit’s 40 Under 40 in New Orleans, I'm an artist, creative strategist, keynote speaker, author, and performer who has spent a lifetime exploring what it means to be a "multi-passionate" human in a world that tells us to pick just one lane.

What People Are Saying…
“I’ve taken some marketing courses before that gave good tips or focused on certain aspects of marketing, but Mallory’s program is in-depth, holistic and relatable, and allowed me to create a really solid and detailed action plan...She goes above & beyond with sharing resources she’s accumulated through her own experience as a creator. I highly recommend working with her!”
— Justine Diamond, perfumer, aromatherapist & creator of Elspeth’s Airs“Mallory was instrumental to the early days of my business — in fact, she was one of the first people I came to for advice when I was preparing to launch my online store... Her marketing advice was right on the money — she offered clear answers to my questions and made navigating the (sometimes confusing and intimidating) world of SEO a breeze. And, most importantly, my store has seen a real increase of traffic as a result of her efforts.”
— Hope Kodman VonStarnes, founder & co-owner at Dynamo“Mallory has been an invaluable resource – helping me substantially increase my audience size and engagement... While I find digital marketing and online self promotion a bit exhausting, Mallory made it straightforward and tangible. I saw immediate results as a product of our work together and recommend her enthusiastically to anyone interested in increasing their reach.”
— Lelia Gowland, speaker, writer & executive coach
