Who, me?

I’m Carolyn McCann, a graphic designer based in Philadelphia with nearly two decades of experience creating thoughtful design for brands and organizations. My work spans brand identity, editorial design, and marketing communications, with a strong focus on clean layout, clear visual hierarchy, and well-crafted design systems that hold together across print and digital.

I’ve spent most of my career working with in-house teams, collaborating closely with marketing and leadership to turn ideas into polished, effective design. I’m known for being fast, organized, and calm under pressure—someone who can jump into complex projects, solve problems quickly, and keep things moving without sacrificing quality.

Over the years I’ve worked on everything from brand guidelines and product launches to campaigns, invitations, presentations, and publications. I enjoy the challenge of taking a lot of information and shaping it into design that feels clear, cohesive, and genuinely engaging.
