Who we are
Carly has been in the design world for over 15 years! Her career started in the fashion world and then moved into packaging design and expanded to all graphic design areas. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Business, a degree in Product Development, and an MFA in Graphic Design. She absolutely loves all things visual, whether it is viewing them or creating them. You’ll find that she is an extremely efficient worker and receptive to your requests since your goals are the same, create something that allows your brand to shine.
White Space Design launched in January of 2023 as a design agency focusing on graphic design, web design, and product/content photography. In design, white space gives the viewer a moment of pause, a chance to breathe. It isn’t empty or blank, it’s purposeful. Carly’s mission is to give your brand the space it needs to stand out in your industry through visually compelling design.
Carly lives in Southern California, with her husband, two kids, and a puppy. She is excited to see the path her life takes as her children and business grow.
