Senior Content Writer

Cara Hutto
Meet Cara, one of our Brooklyn-based content writers. She specializes in creating content that helps people discover creative workshops and unique experiences across the U.S. Drawing on her experience in digital media and content strategy, she produces informative content that supports creative communities and helps small businesses thrive.
Outside of work, Cara enjoys cooking, trying new restaurants in NYC, junk journaling, finding sunny spots to read outside, and writing about her food and travel adventures on her Substack, The Local Plate.
Career Story
Cara's writing journey began at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she studied Journalism and developed a passion for storytelling grounded in curiosity and human connection. After graduating, she moved to Córdoba, Spain, where she spent a year teaching English. Living and working abroad deepened her appreciation for the ways culture and community shape our everyday lives.
Since then, Cara has built a career creating audience-focused content across editorial, newsletter, and digital platforms. At InHerSight, a career platform for women, she wrote 350+ articles reaching over one million readers. Her work explored the intersection of careers, wellbeing, identity, and life outside of work, combining data-driven insights with personal stories to help women find greater fulfillment in their professional and personal lives. She also authored the monthly Stretch Break newsletter, sharing reflections on rest, sustainable productivity, and intentional living.
Alongside her work at InHerSight, Cara has contributed to a range of publications and brands, including Fast Company, Winx Health, ONEYOGAHOUSE, Tom & Jenny's, and Beyondish.
Now at ClassBento, Cara brings together her experience in journalism and audience growth to help people discover creative experiences that enrich their lives. Inspired by the makers, artists, and small business owners who make up the ClassBento community, she is passionate about sharing stories that celebrate creativity and lifelong learning.

In Cara's words

I’m a writer, editor, and content strategist with 7+ years of experience helping brands, platforms, and publications tell better stories. Outside of work, I also love practicing yoga and writing letters to my long-distance friends.

About me

  • I taught English in Córdoba for a year and have since visited Spain 10 times. I’m on a self-appointed mission to explore all 17 autonomous communities: 10 down, 7 to go.

Top weekend activities

  • Grabbing a breakfast burrito and coffee
  • Exploring a new NYC neighborhood
  • Stopping at a wine bar to read

Craft I'd love to try

I really want to try metalworking!

3 top tips to recharge and unwind

  • Do something meditative with your hands! Sketch the scene out your window, make a collage, or make cookies from scratch.
  • Practice deep breathing. Try it while stretching or following along with a Qi Gong sequence on YouTube.
  • Get lost in a good book. And scribble notes in the margins!

3 top tips for embracing creativity

  • Get all your morning thoughts out. Do it on paper as soon as you wake up. It frees up space for more creative energy!
  • Treat your mealtimes like a creative practice. When you’re cooking, experiment with spices, textures, and temperatures.
  • Get outside. Whenever you feel stuck, take a walk and notice your surroundings: the birds, conversations, trees, flowers, clouds, etc.
