About me

I help organizations blend their visual identity with their mission. I develop design ideas as strategic solutions and have created brand marketing campaigns for mission-driven groups like the National Geographic Society, American Kidney Fund, and ASAE: The Center for Association Leeadership. My passion lies in seeing graphic design as a cohesive system rather than isolated elements. My interest in design began in high school when I collected colorful magazine pages and candy wrappers for my wall.

Working with global organizations has sparked my curiosity about the world. My creative work flourishes when addressing global issues and education. I build trust with teams and clients through my design process, which is essential to my practice. My work has been recognized by Print magazine, Graphic Design USA, and other awards.

I graduated from the AIGA Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders program at Harvard Business School and was a board member of AIGA, DC chapter. I have volunteered as a mentor, spoken at schools and conferences, and participated in community pro-bono work.

I currently run a small design studio, CC Design Co., providing visual identities, brand marketing, and industry reports. Additionally, I design surface patterns for licensing. I live in Washington, DC, with my husband and two sons, and I enjoy traveling and visiting the beach.
