Carter is a creative director, experiential art director, and designer with a passion for crafting immersive experiences. Raised in Houston, Texas, Carter developed an early love for set design and interior design, leading him to pursue a BFA in Production Design from the University of Southern California. After graduation, he honed his skills in fabrication and 3D design, working on experiential activations for various brands. With a career in both the marketing and entertainment industries, Carter continues to push creative boundaries to create unforgettable experiences and make people laugh.
When he’s not designing, Carter is either attempting to garden or working with Hank's Legacy Foundation, where he produces fundraising events across Southern California. He’s a proud foster and dad to two furry rascals, Brutus and Orville. They love to pee on his garden.
Carter is based in Los Angeles, CA.
