I’m so glad you found your way here.
Hello, I'm DeAne Norwood, CEO of
Norwood Creative Group, Inc.

MY STORY

I grew up in a small rural town in California’s Central Valley, where life revolved around crop farming, family, and a close-knit community. I started my career as a professional photographer and, along the way, unexpectedly discovered a passion for graphic design through my work behind the lens. That path eventually led me to become the official photographer for the California State Assembly. In 2008, that role took me from my hometown to the fast-paced energy of Sacramento, where I met my husband and, as they say, the rest is history.

​

In 2020, we found ourselves ready for a change. The long hours, constant hustle, and fast pace of city life just didn’t feel like the life we wanted anymore. So, as a family, we decided to take a leap of faith. We like to joke that we simply “threw a dart at the map,” and somehow, it landed us in North Carolina.

​

What started as a big adventure quickly became home. We’ve fallen in love with the charm of small-town living, having a little more room to breathe, and finding a slower, more balanced rhythm. It was a big change and a bit of a leap into the unknown, but looking back, it turned out to be exactly the change we needed.

​

These days, life is a wonderfully busy mix of creativity, family, and volleyball. I’m a wife and mom to a teenage daughter, with two adult bonus kids. Being a mom is one of my greatest joys, and right now, much of our family life revolves around our daughter and her love of volleyball. Most weekends, you’ll find me somewhere near a volleyball court, cheering her on as she travels and competes with her national club team. Between practices, tournaments, travel, work, and everyday life, our schedule can get a little crazy—but I truly wouldn’t have it any other way. 

​

When life slows down for a minute, I’m happiest doing something creative. I love quilting and sewing, yet there’s something pretty perfect about ending a busy day sitting on the porch with our three dogs, a glass of sweet tea, and nowhere else I need to be.

​

Life may be a constant juggling act, but it’s filled with the things I love most—family, creativity, and a whole lot of memories being made together along the way.
