I create strategic, story-driven design for nationally and internationally recognized brands, with experience in brand development, publication design, and integrated marketing campaigns. I have also enjoyed working with hyper-local organizations to create publications and marketing materials for brands with a community-driven focus. My background in journalism shapes how I approach design: every project is an opportunity to tell a compelling story. Outside of work, I’m an avid board gamer and proud cat mom—two things that keep my creativity sharp. https://www.carrielare.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-04-17 https://www.carrielare.com/portfolio daily 1.0 2026-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/d6784a73-cc72-4361-a3a4-a3f294f7d1e1/Client-Logos-01.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/8342a2b6-590b-4603-96a7-ef671294426a/Client-Logos-04.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/d3330c20-f23f-4b6d-bed5-f3d4137cbf48/Client-Logos-09.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/8e4abf0d-5ac1-4fd6-9fd7-674aa30bd517/Client-Logos-02.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/70ccd093-9530-4a7c-bbff-7fdcb8a0c313/Client-Logos-05.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/2aa9e933-cd14-4a03-8373-65724c9a2579/Client-Logos-08.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/86d83556-3a85-4cb8-9464-3c2785e61ac9/Client-Logos-12.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/7b7f9767-625e-44ed-9ad1-ac59c2a44d93/Client-Logos-03.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/5aaf4f9e-ad2b-4c59-8812-8c51e3d228b0/Client-Logos-06.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/d27d3024-4483-4768-8de9-9b1a0fa4a432/Client-Logos-10.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/74f4197e-6a35-4c70-a3bb-5c7343a1b977/Client-Logos-07.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/b2ff1563-6c27-479d-bb84-0f26c0469f1b/Client-Logos-11.png https://www.carrielare.com/portfolio/publication-design monthly 0.5 2026-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee2840ec6cc383fbc8b6856/75596148-34bb-458e-96be-c9e0e5d75e15/Editorial-01.jpg Portfolio -
