Hi, I’m Carly!

I’m a marketing and design enthusiast with a love for color and community, currently working as an Assistant Brand Manager at Kenvue (formerly known as Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health). Here, I manage analytics and brand growth for Neutrogena!

I’m passionate about bringing users’ stories to the table through data and storytelling, innovating to solve pain points, and expanding opportunities.

In my free time, I also enjoy:
+ Visiting museums (25+ last year!)
+ Trying new things (so far in 2024: dance and krav maga!)
+ Discovering a newfound love of outdoor concerts (most recently: Joe Hisaishi!)
