What Higher Ground Creative is all about!
Higher Ground Creative was founded in the mountains of North Carolina, rooted in the communities of Cashiers and Highlands. At 23, we’ve grown up alongside the evolution of social media, gaining a deep understanding of its influence and potential.
Today, we leverage that insight to help brands grow with intention and reach their full potential. Our approach is both strategic and collaborative—combining thoughtful evaluation with creative execution. We assess where your brand stands, identify opportunities for elevation, and work closely with you to bring your vision to life.
Through a blend of marketing expertise and a refined creative perspective, we focus on delivering results that are both authentic and impactful.
About Addison Stoltzfus
At 23 years old, I am pursuing the startup of a marketing business that brings together two sides of who I am. After spending years working toward my private pilot certificate, instrument rating, commercial pilot certificate, certified flight instructor certificate, all while documenting my journey through social media, I realized there was another passion pulling at me—being creative and capturing meaningful moments. I'm building my own business all while pursuing my bachelors degree in Marketing at Western Carolina University. Aviation taught me focus, discipline, and attention to detail, but marketing gives me the space to tell stories, create visuals, and help people and brands show who they really are. I love turning real moments into content that feels natural, intentional, and memorable, and I’m excited to build something that reflects both my technical and my creative side.
About Grace Nolan
At 23 years old, I am stepping into the start of building a business that brings together different parts of who I am. As a Rabun County, Georgia native now living in Highlands, North Carolina, I was raised in an environment centered around entrepreneurship and customer service, which shaped my perspective from an early age. After high school, I started my own art business, something I still pursue today, while also earning my degree in Business Management. That combination showed me both the creative and practical sides of building something from the ground up. Being in these spaces has given me a clear understanding of what businesses truly need, not just to operate, but to stand out and connect with people in a real way. I've learned the importance of hard work, attention to detail, and building genuine relationships, and I'm excited to create something that reflects both my creative side and the strong foundation I was raised in.
