WHO I AM
I'm Caroline Manyik, a graphic designer and marketing professional with over nine years of experience creating meaningful, engaging visuals for brands of all sizes. I was born and raised in Centennial Colorado and now live in Highlands Ranch with my husband, our daughter, and our dog and cat.
Family life, motherhood, and my creative hobbies inspire much of my work, helping me bring a personal and authentic touch to every project I take on.
EDUCATION & EARLY INSPIRATION
I was taught from an early age the importance of professionalism, politeness and how one can't explore their creativity responsibly without a plan. After graduating high school I set my sights on graduating college in order to set myself up for a promising future.
I attended the University of Northern Colorado from 2010 to 2015 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a minor in Journalism.
FROM PASSION TO PROFESSION
Like a lot of people I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted to turn into my career but I knew it would be something that I could create something new every day. While still in school I joined the team at the family owned auto group Weld County Garage and its sister companies. It was working for them that I found a love in marketing and graphic design.
Ever since I've been seeking all kinds of opportunities for graphic design and the ability to create whether that be for my current employer or friends and personal clients!
FAMILY & FOUNDATION
Family means everything to me, and I’m incredibly lucky that most of mine lives just 20 minutes away. Whether it’s spending time with my nephews, catching up with my parents and in-laws, or simply enjoying the everyday moments, they all bring so much joy and inspiration into my life.
My creativity is constantly fueled by the love and support around me—from peaceful walks on the nearby backcountry trails with my dog to cozy couch cuddles with my cat. These connections ground me and often spark the ideas behind my designs.
