“As the Marketing Manager at Go Port, I have worked closely with Cara for nearly 5 years as our designer. In her time here, she has created countless webpage designs, infographics, emails, merch, bus wraps, signage, print materials, and more. Her biggest project to date was this past year working with internal teams as well as an outsourced tech company on a complete redesign of our website including admin panel elements and various emails. Cara is highly skilled in her craft and always pays attention to even the smallest details. Her ability to take all feedback into consideration and execute a design solution is unmatched. Overall, Cara has proven herself to be an indispensable part of our team and I am looking forward to working with her on future endeavors.”

“Not only did I have the pleasure of working with Cara at Go Port Canaveral, I was one of her clients. While working with Cara at Go Port Canaveral, she consistently displayed professionalism and creativity that made her a joy to work with. She was an integral part of a complete website redesign that increased the visual experience for customers. This no doubt increased sales and helped Go Port Canaveral increase their share of the market. As a client, Cara took my one color suggestion and created a complete branding package for a Chrome extension. Not sure how she was able to read my mind but I was impressed. The design is exactly what I didn’t know I needed and fits my vision for the extension exactly. I highly recommend Cara and can’t wait to work with her again on other projects.”

“Cara is one of the easiest people I have ever worked with. She’s creative, takes direction well, and never gets upset when you ask for a revision. She can pluck and idea out of your head and build it from the ground up to reality, always exceeding expectations! I don’t have a technical background, but Cara always made it really easy to explain what she needed from us. Very easy going, she is one of those people that just wants to do a really good job and work hard. “

Oh, and yes! Like all responsible designers, I name all my layers!
