Praise for Design Profit & Prosper

As someone who has worked with Carina and her designs in the past, she has the wisdom as someone who has studied and worked as a designer. She has wrapped that into this book. It is clear she wants designers everywhere to succeed and it shows through.

-- Sarah Cannon, Marketing Communications Manager of Sawgrass Ink

Carina is a trailblazer and inspirational leader within the design and business community, and lights the way for any designer wanting to create a successful money making business from their design work. Her abundance mindset and no holds barred approach to sharing the secrets of her success is a refreshing change to the scarcity mindset and lack of information sharing prevalent within the design industry. Design, Profit and Prosper is gold for any designer wanting to replicate Carina’s financial success as a fabric, paper or graphic designer.

-- Simone Bowles, fabric and paper designer, head designer for the Pink Bee

This book is an absolute must-read for designers. I think, unfortunately, that so many creatives think they have to choose between being artists and making money.

She has the professional and business-building credits to back up everything she teaches, but her students' track records really cement her expertise.
