Hi! My name is Caroline and I am a passionate and optimistic creative designer, artist, and marketer.

I knew that I was destined to have a creative impact the moment I picked up a paint brush as a kid. My aspirations came to life when I joined the world-renowned Texas Creative advertising program at the University of Texas at Austin, where I built out a student portfolio as an art director. 

For three years during my time in college, I helped the portfolio companies within Mark Cuban Companies (yes, the ones on Shark Tank!) by creating and pitching digital marketing strategies and visual branding. A highlight was developing a database for the 'Famous Finder' app, which helps companies find influencers who fit their target demographic. 

During my college years as a full-time student, I started my own art business creating, promoting, and selling art prints. 

Today, I continue to grow my business and have collaborated with some amazing brands, including Nike, Nespresso, Urban Outfitters, Soludos, Saint Spritz, Art Sugar & Framebridge (to name a few).

I currently work for Vandelay Hospitality Group overseeing, creating, and delivering all creative materials, including but not limited to menu design, social media content, video animation and editing, illustration, web design, storefront decals, signage, physical and digital print, and email marketing. My main areas of expertise are art direction in marketing and/or advertising spaces, graphic design, branding, and illustration.

My goal in every creative pursuit is to build a project that inspires people to be bold, confident, and unapologetically themselves.

If you feel that I would be a good fit for a creative project, let's chat and work together!
