Bio
Meghan Howell
It was a pleasure to have Carly on the Creative Services team at Formica for 3.5 years. We were lucky to have someone on the team with her level of talent, her diligent efforts, and her willingness to work on any project. She has a wide range of experience and expertise - from branding, print, email campaigns, POP, sales tools, art direction for photo and video shoots, as well as tradeshow creation and execution. She's been the lead designer on major product launches and works very well with outside suppliers to ensure on-time, quality production no matter the media. One thing Carly did while at Formica that I'll always remember as an example of her willingness to go above and beyond was in March 2020, as COVID set in and everyone needed to work from home. We had created a campaign that would enable our sales team to still reach our customers but our resources for production were limited. Carly stepped up and figured out how to produce the video campaign internally, for minimal spend and quickly. If the opportunity to have Carly back on my team, or to work with her again, ever arose - I would take it in a heartbeat.

Carly designed the brand identity for a strategic planning program the Goering Center launched in 2020, including the workbook and presentation materials to both promote and deliver the program. Her design was professional and beautiful, but more importantly, her layout artfully led the reader to the most important content, reinforcing key learnings — exactly what we asked for. Highly recommend!!!
