I'm Carla

A creative marketing and design professional.
After earning my BA in Applied Languages in 2019, I found myself at a career crossroads. During the pandemic, I took the opportunity to explore a more creative direction — one that combined communication, problem-solving, and visual storytelling. I discovered a passion for design and user experience, which led me to complete a Master’s in Web Design and Content Planning at the University of Greenwich.

Since then, my path has naturally evolved into marketing — where I now apply my design background to develop content strategies, build campaigns, and create assets that connect. Whether it’s designing a website, writing campaign copy, or building out a full social content plan, I thrive in roles where creativity meets clarity and strategy.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me sketching, practicing languages, or exploring new places — always looking for inspiration in the everyday.
