Meet Jazmine Newsome | Creative Director and Designer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jazmine Newsome and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jazmine, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
Over time, my approach to balance in business has evolved significantly. In the early stages, I often blurred the lines between personal and professional life, thinking that constant hustle equated to productivity and success. However, I soon realized that without clear boundaries, burnout was inevitable.

This year, I made a conscious decision to create a clear delineation between my personal and professional life. I established and committed to specific work hours, ensuring that once the workday ends, I shift my focus entirely to my personal life. I also differentiated lines of communication, keeping business interactions separate from personal ones, which has helped me remain present in both areas without feeling overwhelmed.

Setting these boundaries has had a transformative impact. It has allowed me to pour into myself first, ensuring that what I offer to others comes from a place of overflow, not depletion. I’ve been intentional about spending quality time with the people I love, prioritizing rest, and engaging in activities that genuinely bring me joy. As a result, I’ve experienced major improvements in my overall health, the quality of my rest, and a significant boost in my creative abilities and innovation. Additionally, this intentional structure has led to a noticeable increase in my productivity and efficiency. With clearer focus and well-defined work hours, I’m able to accomplish more in less time without feeling stretched thin.

Balance, for me, is no longer about juggling everything at once. It’s about creating rhythms and boundaries that honor both my personal well-being and professional goals. This shift has not only made me more effective in business but also more fulfilled in life.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
What sets The ACE Agency apart is our holistic approach to brand development—we don’t just focus on aesthetics or marketing tactics. We’re a creative agency designed to Accelerate, Create, and Elevate brands with purpose and intention. Our strength lies in blending strategy with creativity to not only make brands look good but also ensure they are positioned for sustainable growth and impact. We believe in building brands that are authentic, influential, and capable of creating lasting connections with their audiences.

Getting to where we are today has been a journey marked by both triumphs and challenges. It certainly wasn’t easy. Like many entrepreneurs, I faced moments of doubt, financial hurdles, and the growing pains that come with scaling a business. The biggest challenges often stemmed from navigating uncharted territory—whether it was learning how to pivot during unexpected shifts in the market or managing the demands of leadership while staying true to my creative vision.

What helped me overcome these challenges was resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to the “why” behind The ACE Agency. I surrounded myself with mentors, stayed open to learning, and embraced failure as part of the growth process. Every setback became a setup for a stronger comeback, teaching me lessons about leadership, patience, and the importance of staying aligned with my core values.

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned along the way is that success isn’t just about talent or hard work—it’s about consistency, clarity, and community. You have to be clear about your mission, consistent in your efforts, and intentional about the people you collaborate with.

What I want the world to know about The ACE Agency is that we’re more than just a creative agency—we’re a movement. Our mission is to breathe life into brands, helping them find their voice and stand out in a crowded marketplace. Our story is one of vision, perseverance, and purpose. We don’t just create; we elevate. And we’re passionate about helping brands unlock their full potential, turning ideas into impactful realities.
