My Life Outside the Pixels:

Carla Family Hero Image Background


Chief Chaos Coordinator
aka Mom to Teenagers
Mastering the art of multitasking while navigating the wild world of raising teens. Think of it as high-stakes user testing – if I can make teenagers engage, I can design for anyone.

Design Detective
Where Form Meets Function
I approach digital spaces like I do interior design: every element needs to look good AND have purpose. No random throw pillows in my UI – everything's here for a reason.

Remote Work Dream Team
Featuring My Four-Legged Focus Group
My dogs are my unofficial QA team. They've mastered the art of timing Zoom call cameos and remind me that sometimes the best solutions come during walk breaks.

Digital Sommelier
Pairing Problems with Solutions
Like a perfectly paired wine, great design requires balance, attention to detail, and knowing your audience.

Mixing all these ingredients creates a recipe for digital experiences that are equal parts strategic and delightful – with a dash of the unexpected.
