About
Hi, I’m Cate Carpenter! A designer who turns ideas into visuals that speak beyond language and create something meaningful no matter where they’re experienced. With a BFA in Graphic Design from Montana State University, time studying Studio Art in Italy, and hands-on marketing experience, I bring a blend of design skill and strategic insight to create work that inspires, connects, and delivers results.
Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me…
Traveling by foot, car, or plane to fulfill my passion for seeing more of the world
Hopping on Duolingo! (slowly teaching myself Danish, one lesson at a time)
Spending time in the arena and solidifying my equestrian skills
