I’m Cara, a Texas girl currently living in Brooklyn, NY. With a strong background in art directing and creative consulting, I bring a unique blend of creativity and strategic thinking to my projects.
I have collaborated with renowned brands including ESSENCE, Harlem’s Fashion Row, and Netflix where I played a pivotal role in developing and implementing successful event marketing campaigns. My ability to understand the heart of each brand and effectively communicate its messages has consistently resulted in increased brand awareness and customer engagement.
I believe in leveraging the power of marketing to amplify underrepresented voices and create meaningful connections with diverse audiences. By developing inclusive campaigns and initiatives, I help brands reach new markets and build long-lasting relationships based on authenticity and respect.
When I’m not jotting down ideas you can find me camping in the woods, perfecting my chess moves, or rewatching a good episode of Rupaul's Drag Race.
