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
