INTRODUCING KARLA
Creative strategy, design and marketing - without the chaos.
I’m Karla - the woman behind YOU NEED ME Creative Studio.
I help businesses build brands that feel intentional, look professional, and actually work (wild concept, I know).
If your brand feels a little messy, a little DIY, or a little “I hope no one notices,” you’re in the right place.
A designer who thinks like a strategist
Some designers make things pretty.
I make things make sense.
I’m a Masters‑qualified designer with 17+ years’ experience inside national marketing and brand roles, the kind with million‑dollar budgets, tight deadlines and a lot of opinions in the room.
I learned early on that good design isn’t decoration.
It’s direction.
It’s clarity.
It’s strategy wearing a great outfit .
My Approach: Clarity. Creativity. Consistency.
I don’t do guesswork.
I don’t do jargon.
And I definitely don’t do “just make it pop.”
I help you get clear on what you’re building, why it matters, and how to show up in a way that feels aligned, confident and sustainable.
What I Value
Honesty over hype
I’ll tell you what you need, not what’s trending.
Strategy over chaos
Everything has a purpose.
Creativity with clarity
Beautiful work that actually works.
Partnership over transactions
I’m here to support your growth, not tick a box.
