Kasey Phifer

German, English

“After more than ten years’ work experience in online marketing and translation, I can honestly say that I’m living the dream: I work with a strong group of individuals in The Phifer Group who are talented, creative, passionate and compassionate. They all embody a unique form of trust, adaptability and desire to continue learning that I haven’t experienced in another company, ever.

I take my responsibility to this wonderful team quite seriously. It’s two-fold, really: I guide the marketing and business decision making for us to make a living (i.e. paying rent, feeding their children) and I also design how we live. The Group is set up with transparent checks and balances so each freelancer doesn’t have to compromise on quality of life.

It’s utterly amazing to see what can grow from this foundation of trust and communication. Anything is possible.“

Kasey Naví Phifer grew up in a small town in Northern Minnesota, USA. She makes time to practise healing arts regularly and dabble in other fine arts such as music writing, fictional writing and recording family stories. More about her professional life can be found on KaseyPhifer.com.

Ashley Washington

Copywriting, FinTech & Dev Specialisation

Ashley, a strong and sensitive and too-smart-for-her-homeland kind of person, broke from her superficial days in New York City winning beauty pageants and working in web dev and FinTech. She re-located to Berlin, Germany, where she met Ms. Phifer in a park and it was instant bliss.

The two Taurus goddesses have, since 2016, never ceased to create and inspire and challenge one another to continually question societal norms and the algorithms defining them. The two pretty much mark the spot on Google Maps where beauty and brains (and braun) collide.
