Cassandra Hamer is a creative educator, graphic designer, and education innovator rethinking how children learn — and how women lead. She is the founder of Design Elementary, an education platform that introduces children aged 3–12 to graphic design through hands-on, project-based learning that builds creativity, confidence, and real-world skills.

An entrepreneur since childhood, Cassandra launched her first business at just eleven and has since impacted over 4,000 students and families across the U.S., Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Her work challenges traditional education systems by positioning creativity not as an extra, but as a core skill for learning, leadership, and future opportunity.

Through her work, Cassandra empowers both the next generation and the women shaping it — bringing a fresh, practical perspective on creativity as a tool for growth, expression, and change.
