Caroline Hastings
art director
I've always loved to get my hands dirty. From creating recipes from things in the garden as a child to constructing miniature sets as a grown-up child. I was recreating these stories that I pictured in my mind.
I do consider myself a late bloomer in the realm of creativity. I was the classically trained athlete of the family, while my sister was the artist and musician. I never had the chance to exercise my creative muscle until a career ending sports injury had me redefine myself. Not until recently did I truly rouse my creativity and harness my vivid imagination at the VCU Brandcenter. Now I can't stop.
And after much digging, I now like to call myself an art director with a sense of craft. Meaning, I'm conceptual and I enjoy bringing a physical element to my projects. I think little Caroline would be thrilled that I got back into imagining and bringing these little stories to life, just not with goop.
