About us
Hello, I'm Carise Harper—creative soul, designer, and proud owner of Style by Carise LLC. Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
Let me take you on a journey to share a bit of my story.
With a bachelors degree in textiles, apparel, and merchandising, I’ve been fortunate to explore many corners of the fashion and creative world. From lifestyle modeling and creative production to project management, styling, and design, I've worn a lot of hats (and loved every moment).
My work has taken me to the pages of Brides Magazine and Bridal Guide, and onto sets for brands like Caterpillar and Wholesome Foods, plus major productions like Bad Boys 3, Chicago Fire, and Chicago Justice. I've styled countless brides, coordinated stunning events, directed fashion shows, and created unforgettable moments across TV commercials and news channels like WGN, FOX, SISTER CIRCLE LIVE and UNIVISION.
But my creativity runs even deeper—it’s a gift passed down through generations of incredible women in my family. My grandmother was a drapery designer, another grandmother thrived in fashion retail, and my great-grandmother spent over 50 years sewing and crafting jewelry. Their legacy, paired with my own experiences, led me to launch Style by Carise LLC—a place where creativity knows no limits.
Here, I pour my heart into every design, crafting pieces that aren’t just accessories but wearable stories. My mission is simple yet profound: to inspire you to "style your life." Creativity isn't just about fashion; it’s about transformation—turning life’s challenges into beauty, finding joy in unexpected places, and creating something meaningful from what was once broken.
I design for women in every chapter of life. Whether you're a doctor, teacher, lawyer, or creative yourself, you deserve to feel bold, beautiful, and seen. Life is complex, and so are we as women. The pieces I design encompass all the things we, as women, are. We are bold, beautiful, delicate, interesting, complicated, unique—but above all, we are masterpieces.
Every piece I create is rooted in faith, love, and purpose. I hope that when you wear something from Style by Carise, you feel radiant, confident, and uniquely you.
At Style by Carise, creativity goes far beyond handmade designs—it's where e-commerce meets digital marketing innovation. My business serves as a creative hub, blending my passion for content creation with strategic brand storytelling. From managing impactful marketing campaigns to producing captivating social media content and digital ads, I’ve had the privilege of helping high-end brands connect with their audiences in meaningful ways. Partnering with renowned names such as Good Housekeeping, HGTV, and Simon Malls, I’ve turned my creative gifts into opportunities beyond anything I could have imagined. Whether designing distinctive products or crafting compelling digital narratives, I seamlessly merge artistry and creative strategy to elevate brands and inspire consumers.
In the midst of this beautiful journey, I’m simply a woman living with intention, embracing the incredible gift God gave me—the gift of creativity.
Thank you for being part of this story.
With love and creativity,
Carise Harper
