Caroline Gadberry
@carolinegadberry
Creative designer turning game concepts into polished 2D/3D art, prints, and products with deadline-ready execution.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a creative designer who brings ideas from concept to finished visuals—crafting game screens, 2D/3D art in multiple styles, and production-ready assets. I’ve worked closely with game designers to ensure my creative intent for mechanics, visuals, and target market shows up in the final product.
As a freelance print designer, I develop original patterns and prints with strong brand cohesion, pairing illustration, typography, color, and layout. I also collaborate with design teams to provide creative insights that help expedite production, while meeting targeted timelines under art direction.
Today, I’m combining design and teaching by leading high school art and cinema classes, building curriculum, and using technology to strengthen fundamentals and creative thinking. I’m also independently creating direct-to-consumer product lines for markets and conventions, working directly with vendors to troubleshoot production issues and approve strike-offs.
