Carmela Orsini, J.D.

A graduate of Georgia State School of Law and an attorney in Georgia, Carmela found her true calling in marketing and helping small businesses succeed. After six years working in corporate America, she was struck by the entrepreneur bug and started a main street small retail business in South Carolina. Taking the marketing and business development lessons with her, she then moved to Seattle to be an angel employee of a tech start up, working through its mutli-million dollar Series A round. Wanting to return to her legal roots but still help small businesses succeed through marketing, Carmela found the perfect match with The Modern Firm. She’s still in Seattle with her dog and entirely too many cats.

When Not Working:

With her plans to see the world currently on hold, Carmela instead is spending her time playing board games, learning how to mosaic like her Italian ancestors (probably?), reading, listening to true crime podcasts, and watching movies from “Top” lists. If the weather is nice, you can find her in the woods of the Pacific Northwest hunting Big Foot.
