Hi. I’m Carrie.

(aka Head Honcho of Simple Girl Design)

After decades of working a day job at ad/marketing agencies and freelancing at night (from my dining room table), I took a leap of faith and officially started Simple Girl Design, a small, woman-owned graphic design studio in 2011.

I was designing a life that I love.

What I can do.

Design ads, annual appeals, annual reports, books, banners, brochures, business cards, ebooks, email templates, event programs, flyers, invitations, logos, magazines, newsletters, packaging, Pinterest pins, postcards, posters, PPT presentations, sales aids, sales decks, signage, social media posts, t-shirt graphics, websites...yadda, yadda, yadda.

What I can’t do.

Eat just one potato chip, exercise for enjoyment or drink coffee. (More of an iced tea kinda girl.)

Why Simple Girl.

I'll admit that when I first started, I wanted to make it look like there was this team of people behind the scenes. Now I see the value in being small. It means getting personal attention. When you send an email, text, direct message, call, etc., you’re getting me directly.

I think of myself as a good, fair and honest person. I truly adore what I do and I believe it shows in my work. I've won the awards and now it's less about ego and simply about doing great work for great clients.

Whatcha waiting for? Let's get working!
