I never expected to be a designer.

But life has a funny way of working things out.

Hi, I'm Caitlin.

We've all heard the quotes about "the best things in life are the ones that are unexpected," and I'm sure we've all rolled our eyes after hearing them. In my case however, it just so happens to be completely true.

Life throws curveballs, and the one I caught towards the end of 2021 ended up changing the course of my life completely. I was in a difficult place in my life, and one small attempt at finding my way out of the darkness I was in made all the difference.

That small attempt brought me into the world of design, and I am forever thankful for the people who helped me along the way and for those I will meet; you all keep me going and allow me to do the one thing I love.
