Born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, Karielys (commonly known as Kary) is a graphic designer and creative director living in Miami, Florida. After earning a degree in Psychology from Florida International University, she obtained a degree in Graphic Design from the Miami International Institute of Art & Design. Her work, informed by these disciplines, is driven by the curiosity of how art and design enhances the human experience. This online catalog is a record of that curiosity and aims to inspire the audience to create well.
My hope is that in exploring these archives, you find the answers you need. We all have questions — together we can remove some of the haze and move towards making more beautiful things!

Hi! I’m Kary :)
I was born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico in 1990. When I first began, I had so many questions and it was difficult to get resources and knowledge from the pros. As a result, I began creating an archive of “answers” I'd find that helped me as a student, designer, business owner, creative director, and pretty much any endeavor I've gone through in the last eleven years. We all have doubts — together we can remove some of the haze and move towards making more beautiful things!
