Ashley Brown
Owner of Boutique540 in Staunton, VA. We specialize in monograms, embroidery, tee shirts + a monthly monogram subscription box. Up until a few days ago, I ran my business around my full time job as a Firefighter/Paramedic and busy wife and mom of 4 boys! I flipped roles and took on a full time business owner role so I could finally chase my dreams and be a better wife and more present mom, instead of missing school and sporting events. I have grown my business from a fun hobby with a vinyl cutter in my home, to owning multiple commercial embroidery and DTF machines and recently opening a storefront with some boutique style items as well.

I started this company "unofficially" about 13 years ago when my daughter was born and about 5 years ago I made it official. I started making bottle cap necklaces and elastic waistband skirts. It grew from there into sewing which I love! Years later I started doing vinyl and now the possibilities are endless.
We live in Knoxville, TN and have for about 3 years. I'm a Florida native but was ready for a change so here we are and we love it here! I'm a mama to 3. My oldest son is in law enforcement and my younger son is currently serving in the United States Army. I couldn't be more proud of my boys. I have a 13 year daughter who is an epilepsy warrior. I work full time in law enforcement. I wouldn't trade this life for anything. I enjoy camping, the beach, live music, and photography. I also collect Disney salt n pepper shakers. Always love a good game of corn hole. Coffee is a must!
