Our Story

What began as a Life and Style blog as a creative outlet while working in the corporate education sector, A Cara Collective has evolved into a boutique design collective serving clients coast to coast in digital content creation, brand development, digital account and website management, event design, and so much more.

Over the years, ACC has served brands and clients in various industries including Life & Style, Health & Wellness, Beauty, Retail, Education, Event and Non-Profit. In that time, ACC has become synonymous with heartfelt, people-first storytelling that intentionally harnesses detail for maximum impact in both deliverables and client experience.

No matter the client or project, I have a clear mission: to craft deliverables that not only prioritize detailed storytelling, but foster genuine connection and build authentic rapport both on and offline. I work one on one with clients - business owners, influencers, and organizations - to propel them forward intentionally towards accomplishing their goals, as well as crafting (and accomplishing!) some they didn’t even consider in initial scope.

I aim always to foster magic throughout the client onboarding process, work flow, project and product launch, delivery, and beyond. From the moment you begin working with me, you and your successes are in careful and intentional hands that want nothing less than nailing your success exactly as we define it, together.

Whether reinvigorating well established brands or launching one for the very first time, supporting the planning and design of your very-favorite-memory-in-the-making event, garnering funds and investment to make a larger impact with your work, or something else entirely, I look forward to connecting and seeing how I can best support you!

 

Hey there, I’m Cara

Originally from Indianapolis, I moved out West to Tempe, Arizona for undergrad eventually relocating to the greater Orlando area in 2020.

While I studied Political Science and legal-adjacent studies specializing in International Law, my need for creativity in my day-to-day work won out and I’m grateful to spend my days creating for both professional and personal projects.

I am a voracious reader and love exploring creativity across physical mediums including needlepoint, as well as trying out new crafts inspired from Pinterest. I’ve been a vegetarian for over 17 years and highly recommend pierogis if you’ve never had them. I love keeping up with pop culture, awards season is my personal Super Bowl and as a proud Canadian-American, I love watching Hockey, especially the PWHL. I’ve traveled to over 18 countries, some of my favorite including Czechia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Scotland. My favorite place to be is on the beach, especially during a perfectly sunny and breezy day or enjoying a good shop at a local bookstore.

I enjoy supporting organizations and causes close to my heart including To Write Love on Her Arms, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the American Civil Liberties Union.
