Your vision deserves to shine
Professional graphic design with nearly three decades of creative expertise, precision, and heart.
Good design speaks to the heart. It's the first thing someone feels before they read a single word, the silent ambassador of everything you've built, believe in, and want the world to know about you.
Carole Fontaine has spent nearly 30 years in professional graphic design, working across industries, formats, and challenges that most designers never encounter. From FDA-compliant product packaging for the dietary supplement industry to brand identity, author design, marketing collateral, and everything in between, Carole brings both technical mastery and an artist's eye to every project she touches.
She has also lived the full creative arc herself — as a published magazine owner, award-winning book author, and brand builder — which means she doesn't just design for you, she understands what it takes to build something from the ground up and make it last.
Whether you arrive with a complete project needing finesse or a simple spark of an idea, Carole creates designs that feel true to who you are: inspired, purposeful, and built to make an impression.

Three Decades. Hundreds of Brands. Always Exceptional.
Carole's design career spans agency work, in-house creative direction, and decades of independent client partnerships. She was the owner, publisher, and sole designer of Real Sailors Magazine — a bi-monthly Florida publication with a circulation of 20,000 — managing everything from ad sales to print production on deadline, every time.
She created signature product lines for companies she's worked with for 15 years or more. She managed the Graphics & Printing department of a busy natural supplement manufacturer for eight years. She designed books that became Amazon bestsellers. She built brands from scratch and guided them to market with clarity, confidence, and a standard of quality that her clients describe simply as: you never have to worry.
She also designed all the books in her own award-winning SAIL Above the Clouds series so she knows better than anyone what it takes to bring a creative vision from raw idea to something you're genuinely proud to hand someone.

Knowledgeable, professional, and exceptionally creative, Carole takes any project from idea to finished product with complete expertise: from books and brochures to packaging and presentations.
