With a name like Xonkita, introductions are awkward.

Feel free to call me Carlene.  I’m a second-generation graphic designer and a digital era native ready to bring custom marketing solutions to your company or start up.

I fell into this marketing thing by accident. As a kid, my big plan was to be the first female president… or something in politics. My father taught me graphic design on Corel Draw when I was a teenager, despite my protests to the contrary. As I grew into my skills and strengths, I found that I’d rather be behind the scenes helping to create plans and make beautiful things.

Today, I make my home in Richmond, VA doing exactly that– making beautiful things that help businesses to grow.

As a certified homebody, I love beautifying my living space by refurbishing thrift store furniture. I share my life with two tiny humans, a bonus kid and the world’s best cat. We like long Netflix binges, weekly trips to the public library and dancing on wood floors in our socks.

Nothing excites me like a good project, so if you’re in the market, let’s grab a cup of coffee or a phone call.
