Ashley Williams

Ashley Williams has spent more than fourteen years helping Flint-area families figure out what actually brings them closer together — and gift-giving, it turns out, is a surprisingly big part of that work. Holding a B.S. in Family Studies from the University of Michigan-Flint and a Certified Family Life Educator credential, she brings real professional depth to her role as curator at Presentlike, where she focuses on relationship-based and family gifts that genuinely mean something. Her annual holiday gift workshop draws over 300 local families, and she's contributed to two regional parenting publications. She also keeps a detailed spreadsheet of every gift she's given since 2009 — less obsession, she'll tell you, more courtesy.
