Carla R. DeRousse

This page highlights various freelance projects and independent contract work, but please also visit the Marketing and Graphic Design pages of my portfolio.  You can view the logo work I’ve done for some of these projects in the Logo gallery found under the Marketing tab.

I specialize in branding, logo creation, and website design as well as general graphic design assistance and consultation. I have extensive experience with nonprofits and other local groups in the St. Louis, MO area and can provide references upon request. I am currently open to independent contract work, either by project or on an ongoing basis. Please reach out.
