About Me

Hi! Nice to meet you. My name is Kara and I am a graphic designer and illustrator from northern New Jersey. When I’m not designing, I can be found hiking up the nearest mountain, taking care of my two cats (my babies), and training for my next trail running marathon.

Before I’m a designer and illustrator, I am a creative thinker, and problem solver. Underneath every design brief, there is a problem that cannot be solved by type treatments and pretty pictures alone. I strive to understand my client’s issues in order to give them the best possible outcome and a product we can both be proud of.

Experience

I received my BFA in Graphic Design from the State University of New York at Purchase in 2016. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work with different design companies as well as managing freelance clients. I am an accomplished multitasker, and have worked on a wide variety of projects, ranging from corporate to small business, and am able to execute multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. I am a lifelong learner, and am currently working towards a certification in motion graphics. My professional skills include:

Adobe Creative Suite

Logo Design

Branding Strategy

Packaging
