Designer – Carole Thompson ,aka CeeTee of CeeTee Designs, is an Eclectic Creative, this is shown through her unusual designs.
Though not always a designer, Carole has always had a creative mind and an artistic talent.She grew up with an artistic father and grandfather before him.
Carole started out as a caterer prior to her career change, she had set up a catering business called “Classy Creations” making canapés for events, however when the covid pandemic hit, the business suffered so Carole had to rethink her career choices.
Carole suffered a breakdown and she was coached by her close friend and mentor. He suggested she write a book as her poetry flowed when she was healing. He then suggested she look at her other talents like Artwork and to do something with that.
Carole promised that she would look at what she could do with her art. She promised to make it work. .
After returning to the “Drawing Board” Carole had ideas and the pens, paper, paints and camera came out and she looked at what she could design making pictures and artwork more exciting.
Once she got back into the swing of art, ideas flowed and her company was created. “CeeTee Designs” became a reality and are unique with a catalog spanning paintings, prints, as well as her unique collection of wearables and accessories. Sadly her friend and mentor, Dr Philip Chan, never saw the progression as he sadly passed away in October 2021.
Carole has already made a forceful impact in the London Fashion scene since her first fashion show in the Autumn 2022. Her designs are created to be as fun and individual as her customers.
A collection of paintings ,drawings and photography, which are added to garments chosen to brighten up your look and add personality to your style.
The designs are of our beautiful world, surroundings, plants, objects, flowers, animals, insects and ‘thoughts’ to give you something familiar but different to enjoy.
Carole’s belief in helping others to find their own uniqueness and talent earned her a lot of attention.
In 2022 she was awarded the (Brent Unsung hero) ‘Women of Excellence Award’ by Author Janelle Victory and the Mayors award for ‘Unite Peace, unity and Diversity’ by ‘Wages UK’.
Many people enjoy the unique designs and have changed their ‘usual’ dress code and ‘converted’ to “CeeTee Designs”.
Photographers who work with Carole know that the models who showcase the designs ‘Love’ wearing the outfits and enjoy the photos that are taken as they all look like they are having fun. Photographers have loved being a part of that as it gave them some really good images and they also had fun photographing models enjoying the clothes.

Carole considers her artistic ability a gift from her father , Paul Mullen 05/01/1938 – 11/06/2006, a gifted artist In his own right. Paul’s passing led to a wish in Carole, to bring the joy of art to more people. One of the ways she does this is through her ‘CeeTee’ brand. She also wanted the Designer brand to be affordable to all.
Carole has appeared on TV, You Tube and radio interviews.
