As a designer, Twombly closely studied historical scripts for inspiration in creating digital fonts. One of her first projects at Adobe was Trajan. At Stanford University Twombly was one of only five people to graduate from the short-lived digital typography program with Masters of Science degrees in computer science and typographic design. Gerard Unger, a visiting instructor at RISD during Twombly's time as a student, also influenced her work. She credits her professors Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes, whose studio she worked in, for her inspiration and stimulating her interest in typography. She attended and graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) where she first studied sculpture, and later changed her major to graphic design. Carol Twombly was born Jin Concord, Massachusetts.
