Carina, by Design

I’m a hands-on, experimental graphic designer who specializes in learning how to do as many things as possible. No challenge is too big, no task too small. I thrive on problem-solving and finding unusual ways in.

I’m currently based in the South Bay Area, California, working as an Associate Designer at OLLY. I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from Rochester Institute of Technology.
