WHO IS CBARK

Carl Barker - I'm a Chicagoland seasoned professional with a passion for producing bold and captivating designs. I hold a BA in Graphic Design and 10+ years of experience in helping a range of clients, from aspiring artists to small businesses and startups. I believe every brand should communicate a unique personality and grab the attention of your audience. That's why I design with purpose, finding the balance between marketing strategy and visual creativity, helping you stand out from your competitors.

MY STRATEGY

First, I ask questions, then I listen to you, discovering your vision and goals; this helps me position your brand to achieve your initiative. Next, I go into nerd-mode crafting, creating, and developing visual solutions based on your needs. The results are cohesive products that span across print and digital platforms, designs that transform companies & empower brands.

A LITTLE EXTRA

As a true artisan, when I'm not working on graphic design, I switch my creative juices into the realm of music. I enjoy creating music instrumentals in various genres; Smooth Jazz, R&B, Electronic, and Indie Rock are my favorite. I love everything about the 80s and 90s culture; fashion, music, and movies. Lastly, in between creating graphics and making music, you can find me at the gym, exercising/taking care of my temple.
