A Creative Professional Who Loves a Good Idea and a Great Coffee Mug

Hi, I’m Bethany Prideaux — a creative thinker, artist, and visual storyteller who loves beautiful design, clever ideas, and skilled craftsmanship. 

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Wichita State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a minor in Sociology (Women’s Studies). That foundation continues to shape how I see the world, with curiosity, empathy, and a deep appreciation for both structure and creativity.

In my professional world, I specialize in creative strategy, storytelling, design, and digital content. I’ve built a career out of blending big-picture thinking with hands-on execution, always looking for thoughtful ways to connect people to ideas. I’ve worked across many areas of marketing, and I bring adaptability, organization, and a strong sense of strategy to every project I touch.

People often call me sunshine, and I’ve been told I have a resting smiling face. I like to think that joy shows up in everything I do, from how I collaborate and lead to how I shape clay, style a photo, or support the thoughtful details that make creative work shine.

Outside of work, you’ll find me in my home studio, crafting teapots, sketching ideas, or photographing small everyday wonders. My artistic style, which I call Tea Party Vintage, is a celebration of beauty, function, and a touch of nostalgia.

I’m also a lover of nature, a fan of old things with stories to tell, and the proud human of three mischievous cats. My husband and two children fill my world with love, laughter, and constant inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope something here makes you smile.
