Hello! I’m Carolina–a graphic designer, illustrator + maker of things based in Chicago.
When it comes to design, I like to do a little bit of everything and you can usually find me trying to learn something new. I find that what really fuels me is constantly experimenting and trying new mediums and techniques (collage will always be my first love). I love physical mediums and how powerful they can be when it comes to storytelling, so I try to incorporate them into my work whenever I can. Lately, it seems that we are constantly being flooded with visual media and my hope is to cut through that noise. Through my work, my ultimate goal is to raise awareness of worthy causes, widen perspectives, and simply spark joy in others.
Apart from being glued to my computer, I love to go thrifting to find little treasures and probably spend way too much time on Ebay and Etsy looking for vintage paper stocks. I also love experimenting in my creative practice. Check out my Instagram to see some of that experimentation in action!
I am always looking for new opportunities and projects, so feel free to reach out with any questions, ideas, etc. Find me on instagram @caroleena or feel free to contact me via email at carolinahechart@gmail.com.
