I'm a highly skilled visual communicator with agency experience and a strong track record of helping organizations and businesses grow through strategy-driven design solutions, encompassing branding, marketing, editorial, and data visualization for physical and digital applications.

My 20+ years of experience combined with a generally curious nature means I'm blindingly efficient and the resulting work is fresh, relevant, and effective.

I approach projects with a we-is-better-then-me mindset to bring the best ideas to light and build trust within teams.

I'm an Adobe Live Challenge winner whose production skills include Adobe Creative Cloud apps: Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Animate, and Premiere Pro; Figma for web design; Keynote and Microsoft PowerPoint for presentations; and strong vector illustration capabilities.

WHAT MY CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY:

Karen has a unique ability to lean in to a project and do whatever it takes to get it done amidst the most challenging of constraints. I'd recommend her not only as a great designer, but as a valued partner in making the visual identity of an project, program, or product resonate with the audience and accomplish the goals set before the team.

— Kevin White |  Operations Director, Awana

People often think we are a much larger organization than we actually are because of the strong brand Karen has helped us build. We’ve worked with Karen for six years and give the highest recommendation to anyone else considering working with her.

— Larry Fowler |  CEO, Legacy Coalition

Working with Karen has been an absolute breeze. Karen arrives at each meeting with everything she needs, she responds to emails promptly, and she has gone above and beyond to get changes made on time. The best part about working with Karen is her expertise. I have full confidence in every piece of work she creates.
