About

Hi, I’m Carla Locke, the CEO and Designer at Flowingcreek. While my career has ranged from technical writer to nurse, I have always been a designer. When I’m not busy creating new designs or crafting, I enjoy photographing nature, playing with my dog, or watching my son play soccer (or whatever sport is in season). Occasionally, I can be found talking to my houseplants, puttering in the garden, or playing video games. Rest assured, I am always thinking about design.
