Carisa Bendel

I’m a multi-disciplined graphic design professional—an Adobe Creative Suite expert—well versed in print and digital graphics. I’ve designed across editorial, advertising, education, science, retail, real estate, restaurants, and non-profits, including work for major, globally recognized brands.

For the past 10+ years, I’ve worked as a Freelance Graphic Designer/Marketing Consultant, consulting on marketing strategies and sourcing suitable advertising for individual clients. I communicate with client creative teams using collaboration tools like SharePoint to keep projects moving from concept through production.

My strongest strengths are long-form design, layout, and production of magazines, catalogs, brochures, and books. I’ve also built highly technical editorial design support—conducting intensive image searches and designing trade/industry content for publications like Tribology & Lubrication Technology.

I bring additional breadth beyond static design, including animation, video editing, and marketing communications. I’ve designed print and digital editions, developed web and email graphics, created responsive web pages and modules, and supported teams through creative direction and production workflows.
