About

Designholmen is a design studio in the heart of Queen West, Toronto, which according to Vogue is the second coolest neighbourhood in the world! In this studio the coffee is strong and the creative spirit is alive and well. After working in the design industry for 15 years, starting my own design studio in 2011 seemed like the next step in growing and learning.

I believe that every design moment is an opportunity to tell a visual and strategic story. I’m particularly loyal to my Swedish design roots, emphasizing the style and function of design to solve problems and move ideas forward with elegance and innovation.

I welcome any design challenge, everything from a simple identity to more complex branding projects, books, exhibits and web sites. Whatever comes my way I’m more than happy to untangle. Designholmen means a small island of design in Swedish. I welcome you to hop on the ferry and start the collaboration.designholmen@gmail.com

What clients say
I can't speak highly enough of our experience with Designholmen. Carolina completely captured the spirit we were after with our brand and we loved all of the concepts presented to us. Everything was delivered on schedule and Carolina went above and beyond helping us develop all our final pieces. We are over-the-moon with our final identity. Amanda Worsley, Owner of Local Hero

Carolina Soderholm, owner of Designholmen is amazingly talented and I can honestly barely speak highly enough of her. She is fun and easy to work with, very thorough, and a great strategic thinker but most importantly seems to have unfailing taste in terms of design. Her idea presentations knocked me out and it was so difficult to pick among the gorgeous options she gave me.
