Owner
Daniel Sawyer
Daniel grew up on 13 beautiful acres just outside of Nashville and learned the value of hard work early on. After graduating from the University of Tennessee, he built a decade-long career in hospitality—rising from Conference Setup Attendant to Senior Manager of Event Services at Gaylord Opryland, and later holding leadership roles at Omni Nashville.
In late 2022, Daniel joined Laura full-time at Sawyer Creative Co., where he helped expand the business into corporate gifting, large-scale event signage, and custom decor. Today, he fully manages Sawyer Creative Co., bringing his expertise and dedication to every project.
Founder
Laura Sawyer
Laura began her career in North Carolina before moving to Nashville, where she spent several years building her career in big box hotels. With a strong background in event planning and hospitality, she has worked at top-tier venues like the Duke Mansion in Charlotte, Gaylord Opryland Resort and Omni Nashville in Music City, TN, where she honed her skills in corporate meetings, conventions, and large-scale events.
Laura founded Sawyer Creative Co. at the end of 2021 with a mission to share her love of gifting with more people. Four years later, she now focuses on running our sister company, Meetings Co., while Daniel has taken over the day-to-day management of Sawyer Creative Co.
