Carly Cantlon


Carly Cantlon is a Designer based in London. Originally from Toronto, she graduated with a design degree from OCAD U and has since worked for studios and freelance clients. 

She combines her experience in design and her fine art practice with a natural curiosity to solve problems, tell a story, and create design solutions. 

Observation and connection inform her design and personal life, mainly found through her time spent learning from nature and others. She’s an avid runner and voracious reader. Her favourite authors are James Salter and John Fosse, and she’s looking forward to running her sixth marathon this year.
