Shelia Hunter-Lawrence is the creative force behind Carrie Louise Designs, a fashion line rooted in confidence, bold expression, and personal transformation. Originally launched as So Free Since, the brand evolved into Carrie Louise Designs as a tribute to her late mother, honoring a legacy of creativity, strength, and encouragement. A fashion designer, author, and alopecia advocate, Shelia transforms her journey with hair loss into wearable art that celebrates authenticity and freedom. As the founder of the So Free Since movement, Shelia has created a space for individuals navigating hair loss due to alopecia, cancer, or other conditions to feel seen, empowered, and beautiful. Her impact extends beyond design through her book, The Baldie Girl’s Journal to Freedom, and her continued work uplifting the bald community.
