Hi, I'm Karly Scala - a marketing strategist and graphic designer based in the charming town of Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. As a firm believer in the power of creativity to drive positive change, I'm passionate about crafting ideas that shape a more sustainable and vibrant world. By fostering creative ideas in my own life, I hope to inspire others to do the same and contribute to a brighter, more creative future for all.

Hi, I'm Karly!
My journey through marketing & design.
With a dual degree in Marketing and Graphic Design from Bloomsburg University and a Master's in Digital Marketing Analytics from Penn State University, I am deeply passionate about empowering businesses to reach their goals through innovative design and strategic marketing approaches.
My journey began with a childhood love for art and design, which has since evolved into a lifelong pursuit of transforming ideas into visually appealing realities, helping businesses stand out in a crowded marketplace. From crafting compelling branding campaigns to developing strategic marketing plans, I've had the privilege of working with diverse clients across various industries, including startups, small businesses, healthcare, and education institutions.
As I continue on this journey, I am committed to leveraging my skills and experiences to make a meaningful impact in the world of marketing and design, driving success for businesses of all sizes and helping them achieve their fullest potential.

Karly unplugged.
Nestled on a couple of acres, my husband, Dominick, and our two pups, Remi and Scooby Doo, join me in creating a homestead focused on sustainability. Our list of projects ranges from chicken coops, vegetable and herb gardens, solar power, hydroponics, and more.
I found a shared passion for entrepreneurship and creativity with my husband, who has his own company - DJS Customs. He builds high-horsepower diesel resto-mod trucks for clients across the nation, infusing them with modern performance and timeless style. He is my biggest inspiration and motivator, and the reason my freelance marketing and graphic design company, Poppy Designs, is more than just an idea in my head.
Off the computer, I find joy in interior design, curating spaces with antique treasures and thrifted finds. You can often find our little family embracing the great outdoors in our renovated 1964 Cree Camper which becomes our summer escape, exploring new places around the country.
Let's connect!
I'd love to hear how I can elevate your brand with creative designs and strategic marketing.
