Meet Laura King, PCED

Hello Friend,

Thank you for your interest in Natural State Creative.

A little bit about me...

I was raised at the edge of the Delta on a produce farm in Lonoke County, and my ancestors worked the rich soil between Cotton Plant and Wynne.

At 16, I started college at the University of Central Arkansas and became one of those who never left Conway, until recently. In the fall of 2023 I relocated to Northwest Arkansas and have continued to expand my knowledge of both urban and rural communities and organizations by working hand in hand with them.

I love exploring small towns and have traveled extensively across Arkansas’s backroads, engrossing myself in the history, culture, and traditions that make communities unique.

I am a certified professional community and economic developer (PCED). My lived experience, small business knowledge, and nonprofit background, as well as leadership roles and work in community development, are all vital tools needed to bridge the gap between where you are now and the future you see.

Natural State Creative will bring an innovative approach rooted in strategic doing to the table. And if the table doesn’t exist, I will help you build one.

Let’s build something beautiful together.

Laura King - PCED

Owner, Natural State Creative
