Hello there. I’m Kara Tabb, a graphic designer in the Washington, DC area with 17 years of experience helping businesses bring their brands to life through visuals that are equal parts professional, engaging, and effective. I’ve worked with a wide range of clients—from restaurants and retail stores to charities and marketing agencies—because great design is essential in every industry.
I’m all about clean layouts, eye-catching colors, and designs that don’t just look good—they work. I believe in the beauty of simplicity, the power of white space, and putting my all into every project.
Whether you're launching something new or refreshing your brand, I’m passionate about helping businesses put their best foot forward visually. Let’s create something great together!
Thanks for stopping by!

"Kara had a remarkable ability to synthesize all the information we gave to her and create a website that tells our story, and is engaging, attractive, and user-friendly. Using innovative layouts, pleasing colors, and clear text, Kara created a website for PCR that allows our viewers to easily find the information they need to know about the services our organization provides for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It was a pleasure to work with Kara."

Design that holds you steady.
At Anchor Design, I believe great design blends creativity with clarity — a steady force in a sea of possibilities. Inspired by a lifelong love of the ocean, boats, and all things nautical, the anchor symbolizes what I strive to offer my clients: stability, purpose, and direction. Just like an anchor grounds a ship, my work grounds your brand with designs that are both beautiful and built to last. Whether you're just launching or ready to evolve, Anchor Design is here to help you find your visual footing and set sail with confidence.
