Founder · Designer · Writer · Creative Problem Solver
Hi, I’m Carley.
I’m the founder and creative behind North & Lessley—a creative communications studio built for people doing good work who need a little help making sure the world knows about it.
I’m a designer, writer, educator, and communications professional, but most days, what I really do is take a mess and make it make sense.
A little more about the person behind the studio
Creative work, with a human on the other side.
When I’m not rearranging typefaces by three pixels or rewriting a sentence for the fifteenth time because it’s almost right, you’ll probably find me with coffee in one hand and a book in the other.
I love books, notebooks, photography, being outside, quiet lakes, forests, daisies, and my black pug—who contributes very little creatively but maintains an impressive supervisory role.
✦
Good design doesn’t need to shout to get someone’s attention.
Good writing should sound like a human wrote it. And good communication should make people feel something, understand something, or know what to do next.
That’s what I want to create for every North & Lessley client.
✦
You bring the mission, the business, the event, the idea—or even just the chaotic thoughts.
I’ll help you find the direction and tell the story.
