Hi, I’m Carleigh Stokes—a graphic designer and creative professional with a passion for crafting impactful visuals and memorable branding. With a Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Salisbury University, combining Public Relations & Strategic Communications with Graphic Design, I bring a well-rounded approach to design and communication.
I’ve honed my skills over six years of experience working with Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and other design tools. My portfolio includes branding and logo creation, web design, magazine and newspaper layouts, promotional products, and engaging social media content. Currently, I’m the Digital Content & Graphics Coordinator at Strategic Partners & Media, where I specialize in creating standout advertising and design work that helps clients succeed across the country.
Outside of work, I’ve launched my own surf wax business, **Kuleana Wax**, designing products for people with sensitive skin—a venture inspired by my love for the ocean and entrepreneurship. I’ve also collaborated with startups through my volunteer work at the Rommel Center for Entrepreneurship and gained valuable experience as an intern with the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society, creating social media content, brand guides, and designs seen in New York State Parks.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me exploring Charm City, boating, surfing, attending concerts, traveling, skiing, or cheering on the Orioles. My greatest adventure, though, is spending time with my 3-year-old rescue pup, Mia—she’s the real star of my story!
