Hi! ¡Hola! Hallo! こんにちは 여보세요

👋😊 Hi! I’m Carol, a designer, photographer, artist, travel lover, and gaming enthusiast. I just completed my MFA in Visual Communication Design from Jacksonville State University, and have over a decade of experience in design and photography. I’m a servant-leader, community builder, and educator interested in helping businesses and individuals grow and thrive through creative problem solving, well-crafted design, and education.

My expertise ranges from branding and publication design to UI/UX design, project management, photography, and illustration, but my passion areas are game design, gamification, and user experience. I’m currently focused on developing a few educational tabletop game projects but am looking to break into the app and software design space as well. I am always looking for new challenges and ways to make a positive impact. I have big ideas and love to collaborate so please reach out if you’re interested in working together.

When I’m not working you can usually find me with a camera in hand or planning my next adventure. A few of my favorite things are: Star Trek, Star Wars, X-Men, Sailor Moon, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, NASA, Google Maps, and milk tea.
