Weaving together art, design and story to reveal the meaningful connections between us all.

OVERVIEW

Community Based Art

Discover how small, everyday moments have the power to inspire and spark transformative change. I thrive on harnessing the expressive input of your community members and channeling it into extraordinary visual creations that reflect the beauty and power of who we are together, making happier, healthier places to live and work.

Brand/Graphic Design

Small shop, big work. Whether you’re ready for a brand refresh, launching a startup or just want to ace your next PowerPoint presentation, good design opens doors faster, sets you apart from your competition and elevates your presence in seconds. As your creative partner, we’ll fuse exceptional design with the power of who you are to put you on the fast track to success.

Unleash Your Potential

Art & Story

The wellspring of imagination lies within each and every one of us, waiting to be tapped. The stories we tell have the power to shape our world. Even the tiniest droplets of inspiration can set forth waves of meaningful transformation.

Customer Reviews

  • "Our website launch was a major success with new customers coming in within a week of launch. Without Carol’s work on our brand and website, I don't think we would have become the multimillion dollar company we are today. Good design is worth the investment."

    Rebecca Bullene, Co-founder, Greenery NYC / Greenery Unlimited
    *****

  • "The huge column wraps for our main lobby are beautiful works of art that have been literally and figuratively touched by so many community members. The work is vibrant and full of life, celebrating 25 years of creative partnership between the Lied Center and Lawrence Public Schools."

    Anthea Scouffas, Engagement/Education Director, Lied Center of Kansas
    *****

  • "We had an idea of what it was going to be like when it was finished but seeing the real thing…it’s so much better!"

    —Julie Rose-Weston, Cordley Elementary Art Teacher

  • "We needed a branding expert to help us change the paradigm of nice, but stuffy to exciting and resort-like. Our target audience for the dynamic new independent living villas we'd designed was a younger, affluent audience. Carol took our brand and flipped it on its head with a new visual strategy to attract residents in the 60 to 70 age category. We exceeded our goals, selling all villas before construction was complete."

    Claudia Larkin, former COO, Brewster Place
    *****

  • "The art integration workshops Carol brought to Quincy beautifully illustrate how the arts can plant seeds of awareness, innovation and creativity in the classroom with real-world applications. The new signage and branding for our school grew out of challenging second-graders to reframe how they see themselves, each other, and their community. Together, they have created a positive ripple of energy that's affecting the entire school."

    Ana Diaz, Art Teacher, Quincy Elementary School
