Hi, I’m Carson
A designer who begrudgingly put a lot of effort into this about page.
I’m a graphic designer based in San Diego who specializes in creative marketing. I’m currently working with the talented team at Ellislaine to help create assets ranging from short-form video to print advertisements for over 175 clients.
When I’m not recovering corrupted illustrator files, you can find me playing trombone, training for a half marathon, or buying gear for a hobby that I’ll quit in a week.
If you have an exciting project (or a boring one) that needs a designer’s touch, let’s connect!
More About Me
Personality tests can give valuable insights, but instead I’ll just cherry-pick the good parts of mine.
As an INTJ, I approach design with a blend of creative vision and strategic thinking. I’m deeply analytical, with a natural ability to see through contradictions and inefficiencies. My mind is always in motion, evaluating ideas and systems in search of the best solution.
Despite this outward-facing logic, my primary decision making mechanism is my intuition. Psychology Junkie describes this function of INTJ’s as being, “focused on connecting impressions or patterns from the present that compose a picture or forecast of what is yet to come. It’s visionary, predictive, and more abstract.”
These two aspects of my personality combine to give me a unique edge in design: the ability to envision creative solutions before they fully materialize and then refine them through strategic, analytical thinking.
Yes, I scored a 1 in Agreeableness—no, I’m not impossible to work with.
Being low in Agreeableness just means I’m more interested in honest conversations than keeping the peace. I’d rather hear what’s actually wrong with a design than sit through vague praise, and I’ll give the same clarity in return. It’s not cold; it’s collaborative.
That honesty pairs well with my low Extroversion. I don’t need background buzz or big brainstorms to do my best thinking. Quiet focus, deep dives, and solo problem-solving? That’s where I thrive. It’s how I can tackle complicated briefs, synthesize feedback, and still deliver without the chaos.
Meanwhile, high Openness and Emotional Stability help keep things in motion. I’m curious by nature, always trying new tools, exploring bold ideas, or rethinking the conventional approach. I’m one of those people that’s addicted to learning.
