I’m Karielys (most know me as “Kary”). I was born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico in 1990. When I was seven my parents moved to Miami, Florida where I’ve lived ever since. I’m married to Angel Acevedo, also a graphic designer. We have a son, Aevin, who was born in December 2022.
My work and contributions are heavily influenced by my interests in psychology, religion, art and design. I earned a double BA in Psychology & Religious Studies from Florida International University and a BFA in Graphic Design from Miami International University of Art & Design.
I've been in the creative industry since 2012. When I first began, I had so many questions (I still do!) 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 my career. As I reflect on my own human experiences, my greatest desire is to be a contributor to our confidence as creatives. My hope is that in reading these emails, 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!
