Who we are
Hi there!
I am Carly and I have been in the design world for over a decade! I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business, a degree in Product Development, and an MFA in Graphic Design. I absolutely love all things visual. You’ll find that I am an extremely efficient worker and receptive to your requests since our goal is the same, create something that allows your brand to shine.
I launched White Space Design in January of 2023 in order to help more brands simplify their website back end while continuing to focus on conversion and beautiful design on the front end. I create visually engaging content for both websites and social media through graphic design and photography.
On a personal note, I am a mom to two wonderful kids! I am based out of San Diego County but that doesn’t mean I can’t help with projects all over the world. I love how virtual everything has become in the working world! I am excited to see the path my life takes as my children and career grow.
White Space Design is excited to work with you!
