Design by Caro



Hi, I’m Caro (or Caroline if you’re my mom – hi mom 👋️). I’m a graphic designer with a background in business, using this unique skillset to create strategic and considered design solutions. In addition to my creative skills and highly developed aesthetic sense, I have diverse experience across marketing, community development, event planning, sales, creative direction, and people management. These skills allow me to approach design holistically – considering not just aesthetics, but also the wider business implications.

CV

I was tasked with undertaking a design overhaul of the Selfridges own-label beauty range, which includes various haircare, makeup, and skincare kits. The previous products lacked cohesion and a clear visual identity across the range.

This involved working with the buying team to determine the product range for the year, creating the franchise's visual identity, developing guidelines, researching packaging solutions, and designing the packaging graphics themselves, working with the production team to determine suitable paper stocks, finishes, etc.

A number of new kits have been developed in various formats within this new identity, challenging me to keep the design fresh and exciting while keeping cohesion amongst the designs. The kits have seen record sales and have received significant positive feedback from consumers.
