We believe design is a universally understood form of expression — a wordless language with the power to captivate, influence, and inspire. Thoughtful design can change perceptions and perspectives, influencing all of humanity to think differently and grow.
We empower brands and businesses that care with design and strategy that sets them apart. With a passion for visual storytelling and years of experience creating compelling, psychology-backed brand identities, our studio breaks barriers in the design industry.
Our goal is to enable positive change by helping mindful brands make an impact. We show the world that you’re ready to kick ass on your brand’s mission — and look beautiful doing it.
Your business is one of a kind and should stand out just like you do. We’re committed to crafting design that highlights your individuality and speaks for your brand in a way words can’t. Like snowflakes, no two brands are the same — no two brand identities should be, either.
To be a better human, we must commit to constantly educating ourselves, reflecting on our privilege, and questioning our role in the systems that surround and support us. Our studio is not only committed to using our platform for good, but also to learning how to best fulfill our clients’ needs.
There is no Planet B. We strive to empower and enable brands that acknowledge this fact and accept responsibility for the effects they have on the structures, communities, and environments they touch. In short, we believe beautiful design goes hand-in-hand with ethics, consciousness, sustainability.

arla began her career in her homeland of Australia. It was here she learned that good design is subjective, and that even the most beautiful creations flat unless backed by strategy and insight. Then, one spring, Carla met a guy that took her breath away — and the next she knew, she was packing her bags and moving to the U.S. in the pursuit of love.
It was at this moment that the story of Colourful Carla really began. After moving across the pond, she found herself repeatedly wondering why people didn’t recycle or respect the people, animals, and places their products came from. Eventually these nagging doubts snowballed into a personal mission: to seek sustainable solutions through design. Carla soon realized that if brands didn’t take responsibility for their role in the world and design their products in pursuit of a greater good, their customers wouldn’t either.
