As Hammock’s art director extraordinaire, Kerri Davis has an uncanny ability to whip together a knock-your-socks-off layout before the end of the first song on one of her (many) iTunes playlists. Kerri joined Hammock 13 years (and several hairstyles) ago, which means she can always participate in the “do you remember when…” conversations around the office.

A former cheerleader and graduate of Mississippi State University, Kerri worked at lots of crummy jobs--including a three-hour stint at the Gap--before joining Hammock. While her role has evolved over the years, designing stuff has always been her invaluable strength. Most days she’s fussing over fonts, art directing photo shoots, tracking down freelance photographers across the country and creating gorgeous layouts--all at breakneck speed.

Like most of us at Hammock, Kerri loves magazines. Her desk is like a newsstand--if you’re looking for the latest issue of your favorite title, you’ll probably find it there. Domino is her current favorite, because she likes interior design. (We sent her to choose paint and fabric when we renovated our office a couple of years ago.)

When she’s not buried in an Adobe InDesign document, Kerri is with her family--husband Carlton, daughters Sloan and Kate, and puppy dog Mae. She spends her free time combing Nashville for a good deal on high heels, her wardrobe obsession. She’s also the coolest person we know who drives a minivan.
