Founder, Designer

The creative spirit of Chartreuse, Charity splits her days between paper and people. "I love to experiment with paper and align that 'paper-play' with the goals of the client. Forming new relationships and pairing that relationship with the perfect design helps to develop successful communication pieces along the way," stated Charity.

With over 10 years of professional design experience, Charity embraces the notion that each new project is a new challenge, a new color palette, a new expression. No two projects are ever exactly the same and taking a project from a simple idea to a piece with a creative personality is what Charity loves best about being a designer.
