ABOUT

Carrie Ford Hilliker is a designer, strategist, photographer and writer. For over 25 years, she’s been working with artists in creative industries like fashion, entertainment, music, and the arts.

The Brand Dossier has been in her Notes app for way too long.

Educated as a writer and documentary photographer, Carrie was hooked by the wild west of the early internet in the late 90s. By twenty years old she was a self-taught web designer.

Carrie was hired as the first Senior Interactive Art Director at Havas Worldwide Chicago. In those days, wireframes were sketched on napkins at lunch and every site was hand-coded. She followed the path of creative leadership to Los Angeles, working at Tribune Media and Disney Interactive. 

In 2008, she started her own studio, FordVisuals. Since then, she’s consulted with hundreds of clients, from corporate projects and nonprofits, start ups to independent creatives - her fave.

Carrie is based in Chicago with her daughter and animals.
