About


Shamelessly passionate designer, leader and curious mind based in Atlanta, Georgia. I strive to create work that uses both structure and freedom. Work that is hard-working and still beautiful, fun and stimulating.

With over 16 years of experience, I’ve worked with big-name clients across industries—from global telecom giants to major healthcare systems—crafting campaigns that are as effective as they are visually compelling. I’ve led large creative teams, built supportive and collaborative environments, and always make it a point to celebrate the people behind the work. My design style is elevated and intentionally simplified, rooted in the belief that great creative balances structure with breathing room—no matter the brand or industry. Whether I’m directing a commercial spot or building out a fresh brand system, I bring thoughtfulness, clarity, and just the right amount of fun to every project.


Raving Reviews

“I am consistently impressed by Ciara's ability to inspire and encourage her teammates, get to the root of any client ideas or critiques, and absorb feedback to produce excellent deliverables. She is a generous and kind leader, always supporting others and taking the responsibility and accountability of leadership very seriously. Ciara goes above and beyond to make sure that her team members and clients are well informed and feel safe to explore ideas and ask questions of the creative process. She always brings creative solutions to the table and her eye for design is truly impressive. Working with her will be a lovely experience from start to finish!”

“First off, Ciara is truly a talented designer. As her copywriting partner, I was always surprised and delighted at the work she'd come back with after we'd initially concepted together. She's got a natural eye, a clean and thoughtful style, and is up on the latest design trends. As a fellow creative, we'd regularly geek out together over creative/designs we've seen out in the world. Beyond that, Ciara brings a positive, "can-do" attitude to the team. She's fun to collaborate with, receptive to feedback, willing to go the extra mile to produce the best work, and overall just brings a great energy to the team—both internally and with clients. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat!”

- Tina Morgan

“Ciara is one of those people that you always hope is in the meeting. Her ear for design matches her eye. As a client of hers, she listened and presented solid results. You can count on Ciara to ask the right questions to get to a final design that is not only beautiful, but more importantly, functional to drive the results you need, be it a one-off campaign or entire program. Anyone who finds themselves working with Ciara should count themselves among the lucky few!”
