Hi I’m Carlisle, and I go by Carli.

I recently moved out West; a move that felt both bold and inevitable. I’m a born-and-raised Texan who spent the last decade in Austin working in apparel start-ups. My first job out of college sparked my entrepreneurial mindset and showed me how much can happen when you give creative people room to run. I learned how to build thoughtful teams, stay steady in chaos, and bring big ideas to life. I also learned that work can, and should, spark joy. Creating a product people genuinely love is meaningful, and fun.

Carlisle Embroidery began as a creative outlet and grew into something more intentional - a way to combine craftsmanship, creativity, and a little personality. I specialize in clean, thoughtful embroidery that adds a personal touch to just about anything.

I’m easygoing and collaborative by nature, but obsessive about the quality of the end product. I test, tweak, and refine - I partly cannot help myself, and because the smallest details really do make all the difference.

Thanks for being here. I’m glad our paths crossed!
