About Us

Founded in 2016, Long Live Simple is focused on simplifying designs to produce long-lasting branding, websites, and marketing for brand owners. The studio space in Oakley, just outside of downtown Asheville, NC, is bright, full of plants, and welcoming. With a natural light photography studio setup as well as a conference room, there is plenty of room for creativity.

Our innovative team works together to craft your ideal brand through personalized logo/branding packages, marketing, social media designs, and websites. Wherever we’re meeting with clients – our studio, a local cafe, or online – it’s a joy to craft original, intentional, and custom designs for business owners.

Founder and creative director Carley Lee’s background in corporate-level design and user experience has translated into effective brand strategy solutions for business owners through Long Live Simple. Carley has worked with brands such as Ally Financial, Lowe’s Corporate, Hubspot Marketing, Weight Watchers, and many others. Carley’s work has been featured in Communication Arts, GD USA Magazine, Photographer’s Forum, and more.

With over 13 years of design experience, she has a first-hand understanding of the business owner’s specific needs (and pain points!) so that the design process is simple and adaptable.
