MEET THE TEAM

Manager, Web Strategy

Bailey Boese

50% Right Brain, 50% Left Brain, 100% of the time

Starting her career as a graphic design intern, Bailey found her calling in web strategy through the projects and people at Up&Up. But it didn’t all start here – raised by a passionately creative mother and a brilliant technical father, she inherited the perfect blend of left and right brain thinking. This fusion of creativity and technical acumen allows her to approach web strategy with a unique and holistic mindset.

Bailey graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a degree in Advertising, and a supplemental degree in Screen Printing. She has contributed to projects for clients including Marian University, University of Kentucky, Wake Forest, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and Clemson University, and has overseen website redesigns for Hollins University, Gardner-Webb University, Blackburn College, and USC Upstate, among others.

Originally from Michigan, Bailey enjoys traveling within the US and discovering the beauty in the nearby, as well as exploring new counties and cultures. If you need to plan a trip – Bailey’s got a spreadsheet outlining times, places, prices, and activities inclusive of skydiving in Hawaii and sleeping among the Redwoods (theres that right brain/left brain in action). Outside of work and travel, Bailey enjoys time with friends and leaning into her creative side with woodworking, knitting, sewing, printing, or planning a theme party (who said Halloween was the only time to dress up anyway…)

Q

What’s your favorite thing about Up&Up?

A

I have been able to do a lot at Up&Up (sometimes by choice, others by necessity of a small firm), but it has given me more opportunity than most people get from multiple jobs/companies in a shorter amount of time. There were not programs in college to study directly for what I do now, and in some cases, there still isn’t. But it is because of the people and opportunities at Up&Up that I have been able to find my passion and strengths.

Q

What Up&Up value do you resonate with most (win for all, purposefully excellent, radically responsible, or make it happen)?

A

Win for All – I am all about the team and the community, we are all in this together after all.

Q

How do you bring Up&Up’s vision to uplift into your role as well as your personal life?

A

I was LOST my freshman year in college. I had no idea what I wanted to study by the end of my first year and if it weren’t for the encouragement and support of others I am not sure that I would be answering this question right now. I find such a passion in the opportunity to support others in a similar point of their lives; figuring out if a school is the right place for them and finding what they want to do by ensuring that school is truthfully represented and clear in the opportunities available. Personally, I believe that uplifting others can range from the smallest daily gesture to the rare life changing moments. It is important to show up intentionally and present and be here for each other because you never know when the your daily gesture is life changing for others.

Q

What gets you most excited about your job?

A

I love finding an efficiency in a process or project that we are constantly repeating. Although these systems can create streamline and flow, I get really excited about disrupting that flow (temporarily!) to find a smoother path.

Q

What’s your superpower?

A

Analogies.
