Welcome to The Design Brewery, a proud winner of The Knot 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 & 2021 Best of Weddings Awards!
The Design Brewery was also inducted into The Knot Hall of Fame in 2019, a very prestigious accolade awarded to only the top 2% of all wedding professionals.
The Design Brewery is a full-service online design studio. All of our products are designed, printed and packaged with extreme care by the owner herself.
Cari, the owner and designer, graduated from the University of Indianapolis in 2011 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communication Design and a minor in Marketing. During her college years, she interned with a design studio where she began designing a myriad of print collateral, including wedding invitations for clients. After graduating, she worked as a Senior Graphic Designer for four years at a corporate company specializing in travel event design and promotional materials.
When she was engaged in 2011, she wanted to design an invitation for her own wedding that was affordable, yet something completely unique that hadn't been seen before. After all, all of her friends and family knew that she was a designer, which meant that she had to step up her game for her own invitation design!
Soon after, she was introduced to the wonderful world of Etsy, as friends suggested that she list her wedding invitation design because it was incredibly unique. With this, The Design Brewery began and her custom fold invitation suites became a huge hit worldwide. Not long after The Design Brewery was launched, it seemed only appropriate to turn this passion into a full time business, so The Design Brewery became an official LLC in 2013. Since then, Cari has worked with thousands of brides and wedding professionals worldwide, and is excited to work one on one with you!
When she's not busy designing, she loves to:
❤ Travel. She has been to over 21 countries, and has a 10 country adventure planned for 2022.
❤ Workout. You can find her always running, doing hot yoga, or lifting weights. Her "gym family" is her second family!
❤ Hit the local Farmer's Market with her husband.
❤ Cook. She is a huge health nut and cooks most all meals from scratch.
❤ Play with their three (yes... three) Russian Blue cats, Russia, Toulouse & Bali.
❤ Hangout with friends and family!
