This website was created to test usability. Once the site was designed, I gathered a group of testers to help determine the site's overall ease of use. Through three rounds of testing, the site transformed and became an extremely successful website design that catered to the needs of the target users as well as the investors.

This website was designed for a company that sells parcels of land. Land Central wanted to set themselves apart from other land sales websites by providing a modern, fresh layout in contrast to the busy, dated sites that flood the market. This website design inspired me to convert from print design to web design.

Women In Film is a non-profit association run by a committee of volunteers. They needed a solution that allowed anyone on the committee to update and maintain the website. I designed this layout using Wordpress to allow for easy updating and maintenance.

For this project, Vista Sunglasses needed a logo as well as a kiosk designed. The logo was inspired by the sun, and the kiosk inspired by the logo. I wanted to incorporate the hexagon from the center of the logo and create a kiosk that would attract customers to stop and look at the product.

This logo was created for a land sales company along with their website that can be viewed in my Web Design section. I gave them a logo that hints to the many layers of the earth, which relates to the many parcels of land that a customer could own. I also designed a 9' wide by 7' tall backdrop for their booth at a real estate expo.

Hi, I'm Carrie. I design websites...and lots of other things too!
I was raised in the Oregon valley, the land of rain and depressing clouds. I moved to Las Vegas a couple years ago and couldn't be happier.
I love simplicity. I love color. I love thoughtful negative white space.
Graphic design is the art of creating the best possible solution to my client's marketing "problem." Graphic design is as much about research, sketching, and exploration, as it is about the finished product. Designing for the web is just like graphic design, but adds an element of user experience that also must be considered.
