About Me

Hello! I'm Cara, a curious and creative Graphic Designer with a deep passion for using creativity to help others! I specialize in crafting standout branding, eye-catching illustrations, and user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing web designs.

Armed with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Art, I honed my skills through valuable experiences in two graphic design internships. At Smile Train, an international non-profit, I crafted digital and print graphics that served diverse purposes, reaching audiences in over 90 countries worldwide. At Impakter, a sustainable e-commerce store, I took the lead in directing the branding, and UX/UI design of their website, which now boasts a collection of over 9,000 products.

While early into my design career, I discovered a second calling as a Mental Health Coach at Healthy Gamer. Guiding more than 200 individuals to achieve their unique goals, I earned certifications in Career Coaching and Content Creator Coaching, accumulating over 3,000 coaching hours. My coaching background equips me with the ability to truly listen to clients and bring their visions to life in a way that resonates with their audience. Despite the fulfillment found in coaching, I began to miss the creative diversity of the design world. Eager to reignite my passion, I returned to the field, ready to conquer the design world once again!

If you're in search of a creative, curious designer who can elevate your brand to its fullest potential, please don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to speaking with you!
