    Avery Carter is the co-founder and creative lead behind AC Creative Collective, where she brings strategy, storytelling, and design together to help organizations communicate with clarity and purpose. She holds a BA in Advertising from the Savannah College of Art and Design and brings more than a decade of experience across nonprofit, B2B, and mission-driven marketing.

    Avery spent nearly ten years in the nonprofit sector as Creative Team Lead at the Captain Planet Foundation, where she led visual strategy, branding, and annual fundraising campaigns that supported environmental education nationwide. During this time, she also worked as a freelance creative with organizations including the National Black Arts Festival, expanding her experience in cultural storytelling and community-centered work.

    She later transitioned into B2B marketing within the facility services industry, serving as a Marketing and Communications Coordinator at GDI Integrated Facility Services and partner company Newbold Services. In this role, Avery developed marketing solutions and sales support materials for regional teams, including direct collaboration with the Greenville, South Carolina sales team. This chapter sharpened her ability to translate complex services into clear, effective marketing that drives results.

    Today, Avery channels that blended experience into AC Creative Collective, partnering with her sister Amoura to support organizations that value clarity, structure, and authentic connection. Known for turning complex ideas into accessible, engaging visuals, Avery thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution.

    Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Avery is an active member of the local creative and nonprofit ecosystem and frequently collaborates with women-led and community-centered organizations. Outside of work, she can often be found at the dog park with her energetic mini poodle, Coco, who treats it like her personal racetrack.
