About the Founders ///
Carrie Drew has two decades of experience as a Creative Director and continues to be inspired daily by her business partner/husband, Brad as well as her interns, colleagues, customers and clients. Together, Carrie and Brad team up with 3-5 companies per year within the Action Sports, Fashion, Health & Wellness, Interiors and Tech sectors to collaboratively design, build brand architecture, enhance user experiences, develop campaigns, solve big problems, and help companies design their categories.
Carrie began her career in production and product development at industry leaders Quiksilver and Volcom, giving her a strong foundation in product design, printing techniques and apparel construction. Later, she travelled the world while working as a full-time Artist and Art Director with brands such as O’Neill, Fox Racing, PacSun, and Urban Decay Cosmetics.
Carrie was lucky to work as the Global Art Director in-house and on a freelance basis for Rip Curl, Inc. for 10 years. She has produced thousands of textile prints and graphics which have appeared on swimwear, board shorts, tees, fleece, accessories, apparel, luggage, and wetsuits. Her work is featured on the award-winning #MyBikini Campaigns. She designed for women's, men's, and kids ranges within the U.S.A., Australia, Europe, Asia, and South America. Her design process includes discovery session meetings, concept/mood board presentations, logo + branding packages, apparel + product silhouette design, print and textile creation, tech packs, factory development, prototype and strike-off approval, photo shoots, catalog design, web design, and social media marketing.
The Drew Creative team delivers impactful websites - including e-commerce storefronts - that generate leads and increase sales for their customers. They are Google-affiliated and can develop back-end data analytics, increase SEO, SEM and build out CRM in order to build growth and generate engagement month after month.
"I really enjoy working both on and off the computer while inventing new ways to tell stories through the prism of art and design. When I'm not creating in the studio or on a Zoom call - I'm working in the garden, snuggling with Smokey and Bandit, cooking colorful recipes, fostering babies for Orange County Social Services and planning our next trip. I love the freedom that owning our own business has given us and I want to help our customers and clients thrive."

Bandit is a lazy English Bull Terrier and is the Official Team Mascot. He flies First Class and attends our lifestyle photo shoots. "I like to whine and hop and make funny sounds in the back of Zoom calls until Carrie and Brad feed me treats."
Smokey is an energetic Pomsky with an optimistic goal of being promoted to Alpha one day. "Weighing in 30 pounds less than Bandit, I hold the responsibility of going under couches and chairs to get our missing balls and toys (which make me a valuable team player.)"
