Ashe Samuels

Ashe is a content writer and marketer who frequently appears in leading publications for the food and beverage industry. She’s been birdwatching ever since she was a little girl in California, transfixed by hummingbirds on feeders or the play of gulls on the breeze. Sustainability, fair trade, and conservation are topics she’s deeply passionate about – she raises awareness and supports sustainable business practices to ensure today’s species are still around tomorrow. When she’s not researching for her next article, she’s hard at work in commercial illustration and traditional painting (of which birds regularly make an appearance).
