CARISA J SMITH
HEY THERE!!
I’m Carisa! An innovative creator with over 9 years experience in digital media. I have a passion for creating to inspire and empower families. I love to create work that catches the eyes and heart of my audience.
I'm a detail-oriented, organized, work at home mom of 5 adorable kiddos and wife of a nerdy molecular geneticist. After years of school on the East coast, we settled in Idaho. We are serious nature lovers and total game night buffs!
PHYSICAL & DIGITAL PRODUCT DESIGN
I've designed 75+ physical and digital products. Including physical planners, wall calendars, digital budgeting worksheets, digital courses, date night kits, subscription services, food and productivity ebooks, product packaging, and more.
I poured my heart and soul into The Capable Kids and Teens Planners—as I do with all my projects. I was an integral part in determining the contents as I designed each of the interior pages and the cover of these special books!
SOCIAL MEDIA & MARKETING
I love branding and creating a recognizable, cohesive social platform that captures the character and message of the brand. I've created social media marketing strategies for 15+ accounts and over 30 product launches.
Whether it's creating something witty and engaging, sharing information in a clear and compelling way, or marketing for a sale—I love eye-catching designs that draw people in.
PHOTOGRAPHY
I'm experienced in both food and product photography, as well as photo editing. I have a passion for staging and creating both gorgeous and relatable images!
In addition to these bright images below, I took almost all the other pictures you see in this portfolio, including the product images in the first section.
WEB & LAYOUT DESIGN
I've designed and launched 7+ websites from scratch and consulted on additional web design. Check out The Page Company, Shelf Cooking or Mory June to see sites that I've worked on extensively.
In addition, I absolutely love creating stunning layout design for slideshow presentations and masterclasses. I've designed slideshows for a college Supply Chain Management professor and masterclasses on finances and budgeting reaching thousands of viewers.
PRINTABLES
I've created hundreds of printables that are designed to help strengthen marriages and families and empower women to be leaders in their own homes and improve their personal lives. From bucket lists encouraging togetherness, family conversation starters, wall art, fun date night invites and printables, to meal planning sheets, chore charts, and health trackers!
I love designing printables that add value to people's lives.
VIDEOGRAPHY
I created a variety of videos featuring printable products, recipe creation, and DIY projects. Most of these videos feature my own printable designs and photography, while others feature a collaboration.
My favorite projects were the Christmas and Valentine's Day Countdowns. Like many of my other projects, I took a simple idea and developed the content for activities, games, and gifts; then I designed the printables to bring these countdowns to life. I staged, photographed and filmed content, then assembled a video for marketing. These projects helped my family (and many other families) create traditions that we enjoy during the holidays every year.
ARTICLE SAMPLES
As a digital media creator, I've written articles for over 18 websites and have adapted my writing to capture the voice and brand of each website. I've written about budgeting, productivity, parenting, organization, mental health, cooking, marriage, and dating!
