The Team
Meet Carrie, Lucy, Ricky and Fred, the creative design bunch. Okay, maybe the team is not so much a bunch, but rather one artist and three catnip loving, cool cats. The felines may run the art studio, but Carrie creates and designs all projects by herself in-studio.
Carrie Kuehn
CEO/Creative Design Director
Artist, animal whisperer (sort of), and former
CEO of Ck2design & Mary Janez Brand
For years, I ran a one-woman creative agency—juggling branding, websites, photography, video, and about seventeen different coffee mugs.
I worked with all kinds of businesses, but had a knack for two wildly different worlds: the polished precision of dental and the high-minded creativity of cannabis. It was a weirdly perfect combo.
Now, I’ve swapped client calls for quiet studio days, focusing full-time on my first and truest love: making art.
These days, I'm channeling all that creative energy into pastel paintings—especially portraits of pets and animals that make people smile (or cry, in a good way). Creating these pieces brings me deep joy, and it feels like coming home.
While fine art is now my main focus, I haven’t completely abandoned my digital roots. If you're curious about branding, web, or design work, there’s still a little corner of the site with more info—just in case you need a creative unicorn.

CARRIEKUEHN
ARTIST & FORMER CREATIVE DESIGN DIRECTOR
With over 30 years of creative experience—from branding and digital marketing to design and media production—I’ve spent much of my career helping businesses find their voice in the crowded digital space. I specialized in cannabis businesses, using my design expertise to craft visual brands that stand out and help small businesses succeed.
These days, I’ve shifted gears to follow my true passion: creating art. But that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten everything I’ve learned about branding, marketing, and how powerful a well-crafted visual identity can be. The cannabis market has evolved significantly, and businesses now need a brand that speaks to a broader range of customers—whether they’re seniors, parents, patients, or doctors. It’s not just about being seen; it’s about being heard by the right people, with the right materials.
For years, I watched as many small businesses took a DIY approach to their branding—often with good intentions but not enough strategy. The problem? Without a cohesive visual identity, businesses struggle to make a lasting impact. Trust me, I get it—the time, energy, and resources required to build and run your business are immense. But investing in your brand’s visual presence is one of the most important things you can do for its growth.
So, while my focus is now on creating art that brings joy (especially with pastel portraits of animals), I still know the power of a well-designed brand. If you’re looking for creative insights or want to revisit your business's visual identity—whether it’s a logo, website, or marketing materials—I’m here. I’ve helped businesses bridge the gap between their vision and the market, and I’d love to help you set your brand apart.
