Rooted in knowledge.
Built for impact.
Rooted Visuals Studio exists for educators and organizations that want more than inspiration—they want expertise that works.
Founded by Courtney Clark, M.Ed., Ed.S., an educator and instructional technologist with over a decade of experience in teaching and digital learning design, the studio provides evidence-based professional learning that drives results where it matters most: in classrooms, schools, and communities.
We don't follow trends. We shape what's next by connecting research, strategy, and practice in ways that empower educators to lead with clarity and confidence.
Rooted in Vision. Grounded in People.
Hi, I’m Courtney — founder and designer behind Rooted Visuals.
With over a decade of experience in education, design, and visual strategy, I created Rooted Visuals to help brands, educators, and community-centered organizations show up with clarity, consistency, and voice.
Whether it’s a logo suite, brand kit, or multimedia campaign, my work is rooted in story and guided by strategy. I believe good design should feel like you — bold, intentional, and memorable.
Let’s bring your vision to life with visuals that truly speak.

What Rooted Visuals Stands For
Rooted Visuals is built on three simple beliefs:
Rooted in Story
Every design should tell a story that feels authentic and alive.
Grounded in People
Relationships drive everything — I design with empathy, clarity, and purpose.
Guided by Strategy
Beautiful design is only powerful when it’s intentional and aligned with your goals.
A Grounded Approach to Visual Storytelling
Rooted Visuals blends educational insight, design strategy, and community-minded creativity.
Every project starts with understanding your story, audience, and goals — then translating that into visuals that connect and convert.
It’s not just about how it looks — it’s about how it feels.
Research-Informed, Not Trend-Chasing
Our work is grounded in cognitive science, learning design, and proven instructional practices—not whatever's buzzing on social media this week.
Context-Aware and Customized
No two schools are the same. We listen first, design second, and deliver experiences tailored to your team's needs, capacity, and culture.
Respectful of Educators' Expertise
We don't talk down to teachers. We build with them. Our sessions are collaborative, practical, and designed to honor the complexity of the work educators do every day.
Action-Oriented and Sustainable
Our goal isn't just inspiration—it's implementation. We equip teams with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to make meaningful, lasting changes.
What Makes Us Different
We're not consultants who parachute in with generic advice. We're educators who understand the work because we've done it—and continue to stay connected to it.
We're not selling a program. We're designing learning experiences that align with your goals, your context, and your people.
We're not here to impress you with jargon. We're here to equip your team with practical, evidence-based strategies that actually translate into classroom impact.
We do the work. We know the work. And we make the work better.
Our Values
Rooted in Research
Every recommendation, framework, and strategy we share is grounded in educational research and proven practice—not assumptions or trends.
Focused on Impact
Our goal isn't to deliver a one-time workshop. It's to create sustainable change that improves teaching, learning, and leadership.
Built on Respect
We honor educators' expertise, time, and challenges. Our work is collaborative, supportive, and always rooted in the reality of schools.
