I am Carly, a graphic designer who believes that every design begins with a story. My work is grounded in the idea that design is not just about aesthetics, but about communication, translating meaning, emotion, and history into visuals that connect people to purpose.

I’m fascinated by the past and the way it shapes the present. Understanding the historical and cultural context behind what I design helps me tell more authentic stories and craft visuals that resonate on a deeper level. People don’t buy products; they buy stories, memories, and the feeling of belonging to something bigger.

I love blending historical influence with tactile visual elements like texture, tone, and type to create a sense of nostalgia while keeping the work fresh and forward-thinking. Whether I’m designing an event identity, a poster, or a digital campaign, I strive to create something that feels lived in, something that honors where it came from while pointing toward where it’s going.

For me, design is how we connect the past and the present. It’s how we remember, communicate, and move forward, one story at a time.
