the pixels.

Hi! I’m Cara — full-time Director of Web Strategy at Creighton University by day, and your secret digital weapon through CME Interactive.

I am a proud mom of two and a pup!

I believe everyone deserves a website that works for them — beautiful, accessible, and built with intention.

What Drives me

Values, not just vibes

These aren’t buzzwords. They’re the actual principles behind every project.

Inclusion First

Accessibility and equity aren't afterthoughts. They're baked in from day one.

Radical Transparency

Strategic Thinking

I think about the why behind every decision so your investment pays off.

Genuine Care

Your success is my success. I go the extra mile...always.
