Inspired Creations, LLC · Design Studio
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 brief or just a spark of an idea, Carole creates designs that feel true to who you are: polished, purposeful, and built to make an impression.

Nearly 30 Years. Countless Projects. One Standard: Excellence.
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.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Carole has been the creative force behind my signature product line for decades. Most recently, she brought my lifelong dream to life — transforming manuscript pieces, family Persian Medicine recipes, and health information into a stunning, visually captivating heirloom book. The compliments on the art and presentation have been endless. Her publishing guidance and coaching through every step of the launch was invaluable. 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. A truly valuable asset to anyone seeking exceptional design or publishing support."
—Dr Anahitta E Jafari, Author, Founder and Director at Parsi Herbs, Inc.

Greg Gunderson, American Dream Nutrition, LLC
"My company has been working with Carole Fontaine (Design by Carole) for about 15 years. Carole has helped us design several product labels, product brochures and sales materials. She is very professional, she communicates well and has always completed projects on time. I recommend Carole's professional services to anyone who needs graphic design and design services."
Tony De Cesare, Owner & Founder Metabolix Nutrition Inc.
"Thanks to Carole's efforts, she helped to establish our brand in the marketplace and launch our product line. As an owner, I was continually impressed with her attentiveness to deadlines and her ability to problem-solve without additional input. The quality of her work has always been superior and we have never second-guessed her creative suggestions. We look forward to working with her again in the future."
Sid Wilson, Vice President of Business Development at Xyte Inc.
"I recently had the pleasure of working on a design project with Carole. I can't stress enough how wonderful the experience was especially due to the fact this was the first time I ever needed this type of service. Carole and her team went above & beyond our needs, even speaking on our behalf to other vendors in the next phase of the project. I truly hope others will have the pleasure of experiencing the service delivery model of Inspired Creations, Inc."
Dr. Ria Gilday, director at Queen's Health Center
"In addition to creating a work of art each and every time Carole is easy to work with and take suggestions without ego being involved. She gives a great deal attention to detail and even corrects mistakes if she finds them which is rare in a graphic designer. I would recommend her with confidence. You will too."
I've had the pleasure of teaming up with Carole on four book projects over the last couple years. It's fun to look back at the dexterity in our content, with book topics ranging from an elaborate ancient medicinal cookbook, to interesting and humorous memoirs, to a science based numerology textbook. I'm seriously curious about what will soon join this eclectic mix.
Even as a veteran copywriter, ghostwriter, and editor, Carole has become my reliable go-to for self-publishing coaching. She's walked me through the somewhat intimidating process; step by step. Her support has allowed me to recently (and confidently) expand service offerings to my clients.
A few things I deeply appreciate about working with Carole include her positive attitude, her ability to help with a variety of things throughout the process, and how she displays grace under fire with project demands. She has learned to not sweat the small stuff, and that it's pretty much all small stuff. Also, Carole knows her boundaries and is great at communicating an acceptable reality—without over-promising—which helps me be accurate with the expectations I set with my clients too!

"Carole has designed several logos for me, and they were fantastic! I gave her general guidelines and my overall goal, and she came through with designs that perfectly captured what I needed. They were creative, unique and impactful. I highly recommend Carole. She also gave me some excellent advice on my website that greatly improved it. She is very talented."
Carolyn Delaney, Publisher, Journey magazine
“Carole worked with Journey in our early days, I think we started with 60ish followers on Facebook, nothing on LinkedIn and no account on Instagram. Carole immediately became part of the team, her great energy added to every meeting we had. She learned about our mission to make recovery from addiction visible, helped set a social media strategy across multiple channels and then over delivered on the executing on the strategy. Our social channels grew quickly and our reach expanded and continues to expand due to her groundwork. We will definitely work together again in the future!”
