KIND WORDS

  • “It is impossible to be in a bad mood around Carly. Her work is a delight and her attitude is a happy force of nature. She has maybe the sharpest wit of anybody I’ve ever worked with, and the compassion to crack wise in a way that leaves you feeling better about yourself. As a writer, she is curious and riveting. As a concepter, she truly comes to life. Her ideas are daring and devilishly simple. As her boss, I was always left with a feeling of ‘Man, I wish I’d thought of that.’”

    - Nick Lloyd, Brand Director

  • "There are not enough words to describe Carly. You could try to come up with a cliche like a unicorn or a superstar. You could suggest a multi-hyphenate title. None of it would compare to the magic and creativity she instills in your day. Carly is an energetic and empathetic leader bursting with creativity. She pushes and encourages her team for the very best work that is not only gorgeous and clever, but thoughtful and meaningful. I could go on and on to describe what a joy it was to work with her but it wouldn't do her justice. You need Carly on your team. She will understand what makes everyone tick, and she will know the brief backwards and forwards, and she will create the best work you've seen -- all while ensuring everyone was supported and had a fun time doing it. Carly isn't a one in a million person, she's a once in a lifetime experience that every team hopes for."

    - Bonnie-Cate Lunches, Creative Project Manager & Sr. Copywriter

  • “Carly is an incredibly… strategic thinker. She has a clear understanding of department and company goals, and is able to relate them back to her work. She takes initiative and aggressively tries to hone and improve her skill set. She… always performed well due to her creativity... Not only is she a talented individual, but she has incredible work ethic, giving 110%, and going above and beyond what was asked of her.”

    - Jennifer Mitchell, Brand Manager

  • "I always think of Carly smacking her sunburnt face into the sliding glass door at her grandparent’s house in the middle of the night. It is a core memory I cherish of her involuntarily saying 'oooof!' as she stumbled back into the dark."

    - Anonymous lifelong friend

  • “Carly is a true professional and is wonderful to work with. Always willing to go the extra mile, her client-facing skills truly make her stand out. She is always willing and able to take on any task given to her and did a wonderful job of maintaining the integrity of our company brand. Her ability to communicate with her managers, co-workers, and customers sets her apart from her peers.”

    - Scott Baker, Director of Operations

  • "[The entire project] and what Carly produced is truly remarkable. There is a resonance. I love the way she captured what I shared with her. I truly appreciate her beautiful work and how attentive she's been to my story. I’m blown away by the flow and eloquence of her writing while keeping the essentials, to the point."

    - Nathalie Ribon-Tourre, Founder & CEO

  • "Carly is such a creative force and natural leader! I had the pleasure of working closely with Carly for almost 2.5 years at PEAK6, where she served as our Creative Director. Throughout our time together, Carly consistently demonstrated a visionary approach to brand storytelling and creative execution. Under her direction, our marketing team produced some of the most impactful and strategically sound campaigns in the company's history. She has an exceptional ability to align high-level creative concepts with broader business goals—a skill that elevated both our internal processes and our client-facing work. From a designer’s perspective, I personally grew under her mentorship, especially in how I approached creative problem-solving and collaborative critique."

    - Meagan Bowes, Art Director

  • "I would give Carly the idea I was going for and she would provide numerous options of incredible copy. ...She is smart and analytic, fast and responsive, and is extremely focused. I go directly to her with all my communication needs."

    - Ginnette Montañez, Lead Marketing Communications Consultant

  • "Carly is one of those co-workers you look up to. She has an aura about her that is contagious. She lights up the faces and spirits of those around her. I had the privilege of working with her during my time at [company] and she was one of the cornerstones of our creative team. She has a true passion for what she does and will Oxford comma you to death but her eye for detail is second to none. She is a joy to work with and any company/team would be lucky to have a mind of her caliber in their corner. Even our competitors at the time were trying their best to legally mimic her play on words.”

    - Bryan Landis, Graphic Designer

  • “Why do you have a tiny microphone? Of course I think you’re great. Can we fold the laundry now?

    - My first (and current) husband

  • "Carly is extremely hard working, creative and always had great suggestions for copy improvement. One of my favorite parts of working with Carly was her ability to always meet deadlines and was extremely responsive with turn around times, venue updates and urgent edits. She also provided insight on my specific marketplace and made suggestions on how to improve the site. Overall, her ability to turn dull facts into dazzling content is what sets Carly apart!"

    - Ashley Barnes, Venue Manager

  • "Carly was an absolute pleasure to work with. She effortlessly handled all of the writing for the marketing department through blogs, social media, press releases, and across various marketing channels. Carly's biggest strength is in the way she can connect with an audience through her writing. She is an expert in her field and was always a positive team player that supported her team with confidence and optimism. I would highly recommend Carly as an addition to any team."List Item
