CARRIE
ALLEN
PRODUCTION DESIGNER
&
PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m a Chicago-based film designer and photographer who loves forming a narrative through spaces and objects. With a background in fine art, photography, and fabrication, I thrive on rolling up my sleeves to build, source, and experiment with new techniques.
A lifelong love of antiques and art history always has me thinking of ways to timelessly incorporate and appreciate styles of the past into my projects. I started out behind the camera as a photographer and later at The Onion, Inc., before moving into set design and prop work. Over the past decade, I’ve created sets and props for films, ad campaigns, comedy shows, and more. I also run an antique shop, where I’m always on the hunt for curious objects to give new life.
Lately, I’ve been leaning into interiors, bringing a playful eye for color and pattern into real homes and spaces.

GIFT SHOP
By popular demand, Carrie’s graphic,
Raccoon Stamp, is finally ready for orders.
Now you can get this raccoon design covering a whole shower curtain if you so desire.
To each their own!
Inspired by the early 2000s game and quirky, dark humor needed to navigate life's challenges.
Sometimes in adulthood, it may feel like the ladder has been taken out of the pool by some higher power, upper management, or sheer bad luck. Enjoy this piece of art at home or gift it to a friend who could use a laugh
(and a new bathmat).
Red and green plumbob variations available in my shop.
