CMYK + Me

A versatile graphic designer with experience in interior design and hospitality, backed by a strong marketing/PR foundation from award-winning media agencies.

Hello! I’m Clara—a creatively driven designer with a background that bridges graphic design, influencer marketing, and brand storytelling. I’ve collaborated with both small businesses and large agencies across industries like beauty, creative software, interior design, education, and wellness.

I'm also the co-founder of Ice and Fire Art, a small art business and Etsy shop that brings together custom artwork and unique printables inspired by the bold and the mystical. Think swirling skies, shifting perspectives, soft spells of magic and mood—alongside minimalist prints, pop culture pieces, and custom creations made just for you.

Outside of work, you can find me visiting new coffee shops, supporting local makers, roaming through art galleries, catching up with friends, or planning my next adventure.
