Hello! I’m Carly Correa, a surface designer from Los Angeles. I create textile patterns and graphic illustrations for the fashion industry, home products, and more. My designs have been featured in WGSN and on network TV shows.
I love working on impactful projects that merge evocative fine art media with uplifting color stories. I’m always looking to collaborate on new projects and I approach each client project with fresh originality. I keep up with emerging style trends and cultural innovations to inform my work.
I grew up in Redondo Beach, a charming coastal town just outside the city of Los Angeles. As the South Bay area is known for its surf/skate lifestyle and as the birthplace of many prominent punk bands, this DIY culture helped inspire my down-to-earth ethos of optimism, self-improvement, and openness.
I work in my sketchbook regularly to experiment and build my library of original print concepts. Outside of work I love digging through music and movie archives, researching Los Angeles history, thinking about ways to help the planet, and hiking.
