About
Hello.
Nice to meet you! I’m Cara Capizzi, and I run a graphic design studio serving Washington, DC and beyond.
I specialize in branding and marketing materials for conferences and events for associations, however my client list ranges across sectors including policy, technology, non-profits, education, and more.
When you work with me, you get a creative partner who will bring your vision to life and will go the extra mile to make your job easier.
Here are just a handful of the reasons why my clients love working with me:
Organization is at the forefront of my work so that together, we can meet your deadlines.
As a one-person business, I can offer flexibility that larger agencies often can not provide.
My resources and relationships with other creatives and vendors allow me to pull in specialized expertise when needed.
Positivity makes our work together more collaborative. As your go-to team member throughout the process, I’m here to keep an open ear and ensure a stress-free experience every step along the way.
Have an upcoming project?
Here’s what some of my clients have to say…
