About Me

Hi, l’m Carly.
I’m a strategic creative director and marketing leader. I live in Chicago, IL with my husband, dog, and two cats. On nights and weekends, you can find me performing improv comedy around the city, painting, or watching trash TV.

Quick-fire facts:

  • Self-proclaimed enthusiasm enthusiast

  • Will sing “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness at karaoke

  • Lover of cheese and onions; big garlic girl

  • Believer in the Bannister Effect and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics

  • Unabashed Survivor and RuPaul’s Drag Race super-fan

Are you into ASMR? Listen to me read my resume into this tiny microphone.
(Coming soon!)
