HELLO!

My name is Caitlin Workman and I am an art director and strategist. I value the problem-solving possibilities of design, refined craft in its execution, and the entrepreneurial drive required to get things done. I've developed and launched brands for a wide range of clients spanning the beauty, fashion, retail, consumer packaging, tech, and restaurant industries. 

Working with clients and teams, I craft innovative stories, brands, businesses, and experiences to help change the world. Integrating design thinking, human-centered design, strategy, and art direction, I create compelling brand messages that inspire action. Guided by critical study in business and innovation, my process embraces divergent thinking, experimentation, play, and collaboration. A conduit between strategy and creativity, I aim to discover insights and new opportunities–believing in asking the right questions before designing the right answer. I helps clients innovate by designing conditions to engage opportunity and imagine the future. I believe that leaders must have curiosity and courage to construct cultures of possibility and if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.

I am also the founder of CW Collection, a design brand known for bold colors and patterns. For custom work, collaborations, wholesale, licensing & sales inquires, please contact me at: cworkman.design@gmail.com
