“An artist is a nourisher and a creator who knows

that during the act of creation there is collaboration. We do not create alone.”

— Madeleine L’Engle


Creative Collaborator + Leader

Hi, I’m Carrie. The quote above is from “Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art,” that I read before I began my career. I became passionate about this concept then, and it resonates today. My best work comes from living out my values of connection, collaboration, creativity, and making a difference.

I'm a Cincinnati-based designer who inspires for-profit and nonprofit companies to increase their reach and stand out visually among competitors. My digital and print design solutions help organizations to achieve their sales and marketing goals.

My creative process includes asking "why" questions, understanding who your competitors are, and helping you elevate your presence in the marketplace. I’ve worked on projects for a diverse range of clients—this includes my freelance clients, and in-house marketing and communications teams. I have expertise with design for luxury retail, health/wellness, and medical research.

Also, I'm passionate about giving back and social justice issues. I donate art direction and design work to deserving, organizations that are making our world a better place. If I can contribute some of my talent and time to help solve a need, I'm in. Volunteering at events, participating in fundraisers, and food and clothing drives are activities that give me joy.

Outside of my work life, you'll find me enjoying time with family, chasing after my German Short-Haired Pointer pup, spending time in nature, trying out a new recipe, or savoring a cup of coffee.
