About us
Dear Friends, Supporters, and Fellow Creatives,
Hello, I’m Carise Harper—creative soul, designer, content creator, and proud owner of Style by Carise LLC. Welcome! I’m truly so glad you’re here.
Let me share a bit of my journey with you—because this brand isn’t just a business; it’s a reflection of faith, resilience, and the beauty that can come from pain.
I’ve always loved creating. With a bachelor’s degree in textiles, apparel, and merchandising, I’ve been blessed to explore many sides of the fashion and creative world—from lifestyle modeling and styling to creative direction, design, and digital storytelling. As a designer, I have created and shipped my unique products to over 40 different states all around the country.
My creativity runs DEEP! It’s in my blood. I come from a long line of visionary women: a grandmother who designed drapery, another who thrived in fashion retail, and a great-grandmother who spent over 50 years sewing and crafting jewelry. Their hands built beauty from nothing, and their legacy shaped who I am today.
A few years ago, my journey took a painful turn. I suffered a hand injury that nearly severed my thumb, leaving me unable to create by hand for over a year. During that same season, I was grieving the loss of all four of my grandparents—and not long after, my father passed away. The pain of that time was unimaginable. But through prayer, reflection, and grace, I found strength in knowing that creativity was God’s gift to me—a way to heal, honor my family, and carry their legacy forward.
From that pain, Style by Carise LLC has persevered with renewed purpose: to create with intention. Every piece I design is more than just an accessory—it’s a story. A reflection of resilience, beauty, and the divine creativity we all carry within us. My mission is to inspire women everywhere to “style their lives”—to embrace every chapter, every scar, and every victory as part of their masterpiece.
Whether you’re a doctor, teacher, lawyer, artist, or entrepreneur, my hope is that when you wear something from Style by Carise, you feel bold, beautiful, and seen. Because we, as women, are complex—we are strong yet delicate, powerful yet graceful, unique yet connected. We are all masterpieces in progress.
Beyond handmade designs, my brand has evolved into a creative hub where e-commerce meets media. I’ve had the honor of managing marketing campaigns, producing digital content, and crafting storytelling for major brands—all while continuing to build my own line of handmade designs. My work in media has appeared in Brides Magazine and Bridal Guide, and I’ve collaborated with brands like HGTV, Good Housekeeping, Simon Malls, Caterpillar, and Wholesome Foods.
In TV and film, I’ve also had the joy of being on set for productions such as Bad Boys 3, Chicago Fire, Americas Most Wanted, Tulsa King and Will Trent just to name a few. This blend of artistry and strategy is where my heart truly shines combining all of my creative gifts and using them to create an amazing creative career.
At the end of the day, I’m just a woman living with intention, using the gifts God placed in my hands—hands that have been broken and healed—to create something meaningful.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means more than words can express.
With love and creativity,
Carise Harper
