Savannah, Georgia, US
Bio:
Hi, I'm Charla!
I'm a published illustrator, surface designer, and illustration professor with 14 years of industry experience designing for print and pattern. I graduated magna cum laude from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I studied Illustration and earned a B.F.A. and an M.A. in Visual Communication. I love creating illustrations that bring joy to others.
I have created artwork for magazines, product packaging, floor coverings, fabric, gift wrap, and greeting cards, as well as children's activities and books. I also have experience in art direction and project management. Repeat patterns are my passion!
When I'm not drawing, I enjoy exploring nature in coastal Georgia and spending time with my little family.
Past clients include L'Occitane, Minted, Cloud9 Fabrics, Beaufort Bonnet Company, and more!
