Keith Beasley ::
President
Imagine you can’t wait to get out of the shower and get to work - each and every morning. Welcome to my life.
In 1991, my clients were loading me down and my current company was laying people off. Not good. I called my childhood friend back in Louisiana, who also doubles a business genius, in need of direction and advice. We prayerfully formed Clayton Everett Design December 1, 1991 with a few grand and an incredible office manager. We selected the name that was a combination of our middle names, so when vultures would call during those very busy initial days and erroneously ask for Mr. Everett, they would be informed that he had recently died in a bizarre gardening accident. That’s where the name originated.
I have been blessed with two kids that are three years apart; my daughter Brittany and my son Braden. I was smart to marry my college sweetheart Paula before she became a successful real estate attorney so my close friends who knew us back in college don’t perceive me as a gold digger. Aside from my wife, the other member of our family who is smarter than I am is our dog Beignet (pronounced ben-yay. If you don’t know what that is, fly immediately down to Café du Monde in New Orleans).
What began with coloring hundreds of football helmets and sports logos when I was 5 years old, has turned into an agency made up of the most wonderful people I have ever worked with. An agency supported by awesome clients that allow us to push ourselves creatively and encourage us with outstanding art direction. In turn, I try to simply keep one goal in mind;
to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ through every aspect of my life and this company. Since He’s the creator of creativity and everything I have I really owe to Him, I figure this is the least I could do.
