Hi, I'm Cait

I’m a brand and web designer, animal lover, crochet novice, and qualified chef with a passion for helping good brands drive meaningful change.

What's my story?

My working life

I've worked across the worlds of print production, branding, and digital marketing; from the print room to collaborating with brands both client-side and within creative teams. Along the way, I learnt how brands build trust through consistency; not just in how they show up visually, but how they behave at every touchpoint. That understanding, plus a love for working with purpose-led businesses, brought me here.

Launching Nacara Studio

In June 2023, I started freelancing on the side while working full-time at a digital marketing agency. I wasn’t feeling creatively fulfilled and wanted to work with clients who cared about the same things I care about - community, sustainability, and meaningful impact. What began as a few freelance projects quickly turned into something more consistent, and in January 2025, I made the scary leap into running Nacara Studio full-time.

Design for what matters

Nacara exists to support conscious independents and purpose-driven founders — helping them grow their impact without compromising on values. My goal is to help you build a brand that’s aligned, considered, and mindful of its footprint. I believe good design can fuel good change — and that the future belongs to businesses who lead with people and planet in mind.

I BELIEVE IN

Impact over empty trends.

Community over competition.

Connection over consumption.

Balance over burnout.

MY TAKE ON SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is about balance. It’s about making intentional choices in how you run your business, how you show up in the world, and how your work impacts others (and the planet). It’s a mindset that informs everything I do, from low-carbon web design to thoughtful brand identities.

In good company

I’m proud to be part of a growing network of creatives, changemakers, and values-led communities who believe in doing things differently. These groups keep me inspired, challenged, and connected to the bigger picture — reminding me that meaningful work is rarely done alone.
